WASHINGTON (HRNW) – White House hopefuls Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders launched a joint attack on Donald Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic as they faced off in a high-stakes debate Sunday, accusing the president of undermining his own scientists with misinformation.
The two rivals also sparred about their record, taking advantage of the first one-on-one format of the marathon campaign to engage in extended — though civil — policy clashes on everything from universal health care and climate change to deportations and foreign policy.
But with Biden appearing to have a good night, riding high as the frontrunner following three weeks of strong performances in multiple primaries, the 77-year-old made a splash by saying he will “commit” to picking a female running mate if he is the Democratic nominee.
Sanders said he would “in all likelihood” do the same, following the most diverse nomination contest in US history that saw no fewer than six women in the running to take on Trump in November.
