    Front-runners Biden, Warren and Sanders clash on Democratic Party's future

    by Evan Halper and Seema Mehta, Los Angeles Times Sep 13, 2019 7 minutes

    HOUSTON - Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren tore into one another's plans and fended off attacks from rivals eager to join them at the head of the field of White House hopefuls during their first clash on the same stage.

    The third Democratic debate at Texas Southern University in Houston on Thursday night marked a new phase for the crowded presidential primary, one where candidates find themselves under stepped-up pressure. Only the 10 candidates who met the Democratic Party's new stricter eligibility rules were invited, and the desperation of several of them not to get sidelined going forward made for a spirited three hours.

    "Are you forgetting what you said two minutes ago?" former Housing Secretary Julian Castro said to Biden in a heated exchange over healthcare. He was attacking the former vice president's policy plan but also, seemingly, the 76-year-old front-runner's mental fitness for office. "I can't believe that you said two minutes ago that they had to buy in, and now saying you don't have to buy in. You're forgetting that."

    Others on the stage chastised Castro, who had mischaracterized Biden's comments.
