The big story…

Democratic Candidates Hold First CNN Town Halls

The five leading presidential candidates — Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, and Amy Klobuchar — held the first CNN town halls last night. Impeachment was a hot topic, with Harris, Warren and Buttigieg saying go for it while Sanders and Klobuchar said let’s focus on re-election. All in all this was a good dry run for the first 2020 presidential debate set to take place in June.
