(WCBS 880) — Ten candidates took the stage for the fifth Democratic presidential debate in Atlanta on Wednesday night to tackle several issues including health care, foreign policy and the impeachment hearings.
South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg played a key role in the debate that aired on MSNBC now that he has risen to the top of the polls in Iowa.
Without spelling it out, he argued that some of his party's more progressive candidates run the risk of alienating voters, rather than building a coalition that can win next November.
"Even on issues where Democrats have been on defense like immigration and guns we have a majority to do the right thing if we can galvanize, not pulverize that majority," he said.
