Democratic Debates: Comments by Each Candidate

VOA News

   The fourth Democratic presidential candidate debates took place Tuesday
   in Ohio. The [1]candidates answered questions on a range of issues,
   including the impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump, the
   developments in the Syrian conflict, and the U.S. economy.

   Here are some comments from each candidate:

   Former Vice President Joe Biden, during a discussion of Trump's
   outreach to Ukraine to investigate Biden's son, Hunter, said, "My son
   did nothing wrong. I did nothing wrong. I carried out the policy of the
   United States government in rooting out corruption in Ukraine, and
   that's what we should be focusing on."

   Senator Cory Booker, talking about the need to put in check Russian
   President Vladimir Putin's power on the world stage, said, "We cannot
   allow the Russians to continue to grow in influence by abandoning the
   world stage. We cannot allow Russia to not only interfere in the
   democracies of Ukraine and Latvia and Lithuania, but even not calling
   them out for their efforts to interfere in this democracy are
   unacceptable."

   Mayor Pete Buttigieg, while promoting the need to depoliticize the U.S.
   Supreme Court, said, "We can't go on like this where every single time
   there is a vacancy we have this apocalyptic ideological firefight over
   what to do next. Now one way to fix this is to have a 15-member court
   where five of the members can only be appointed by unanimous agreement
   by the other 10."
