Democratic Debates: Comments by Each Candidate

VOA News

   The third Democratic presidential candidate debate took place in
   Houston Thursday. The [1]candidates answered questions on a range of
   issues, including health care, gun control, immigration and an ongoing
   U.S.-China trade war.

   Here are some comments from each candidate:

   Former Vice President Joe Biden, during a discussion of foreign policy,
   offered that he should not have voted for a bill that launched the 2002
   Iraq War, saying, "I should have never voted to give (former President
   George W.) Bush the authority to go in and do what he said he was going
   to do. '¦ What I was arguing against in the beginning, once he started
   to put the troops in, was that in fact we were doing it the wrong way,
   there was no plan, we should not be engaged, we didn't have the people
   with us, we didn't have our allies with it."

   Senator Cory Booker, during a discussion of America's tit-for-tat
   tariff war with China, while at the same time fighting over trading
   rights with European allies, said: "Donald Trump's America First policy
   is actually an America alone policy. This is a president who has better
   relations with dictators rather than American allies."
