"You can't beat President Trump with double talk," Joe Biden says of Kamala Harris' plan. He adds that her plan will cost millions of dollars and people will lose their employer benefits.

"They're probably confused because they haven't read it." - Kamala Harris on the confusion over her health care policy and whether she supports Medicare for All. Pretty sure people are confused by what she says on stage vs what she says backstage. #demdebate

"Obamacare is working," says Joe Biden, adding that people need to build on Obamacare and add a public option. He points out again that Harris' plan will cost $30 trillion.

Harris again has her sights on Biden. Tulsi Gabbard attacked Harris' plan & Harris pivoted right back to criticizing Biden's healthcare plan. Harris: Your plan does not cover everyone in America. As many as 10M people will not have healthcare. Biden: My plan does cover everyone.

Right now Gillibrand is whining that Biden used to believe women should not work and stay home. Next up, Kamala asking if he had evolved on women's issues.
