The South Carolina DemDebate is underway. Follow along for live updates

The candidates, minus Tom Steyer. Photo: Win McNamee/Getty Images Tonight could be the last time Democratic primary voters see the current line-up of candidates onstage: With the South Carolina primary on Saturday and Super Tuesday just a week out, it’s quite likely that candidates polling in the single digits with few delegates to show for their efforts may lose steam before the next debate on March 15.

Warren goes after Bloomberg’s support of Republicans When asked to defend her statement that Michael Bloomberg is the “riskiest” Democratic candidate, Elizabeth Warren went to his record of donations, citing his financial support for South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, “anti-choice, right-wing” Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania, and Warren’s own opponent in 2012, former Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts. She added that “the core of the Democratic party” does not trust him.

The candidates are coming for the frontrunner The democratic socialist question The debate began with moderators kicking a question to the only democratic socialist on the stage, asking Sanders how he could win the general election with unemployment rates so low. Sanders hit back with an answer pulled from his stump speech, citing that we already has democratic socialism for the rich, and that real wages are effectively stagnant.

“I’m hearing my name mentioned a bit tonight,” Sanders said. “I wonder why.” Warren had an effective early hit, citing her record as a more pragmatic progressive. What’s at stake? For Joe Biden, Tom Steyer, and Bernie Sanders, the prize at hand is South Carolina, where Steyer has spent a great deal for a top-three finish, Sanders could continue a popular-vote-sweep, and Biden needs to prove that he’s still a force to be reckoned with, despite losing frontrunner status.
