SFGATE: Tougher criticism as Democrats debate in New Hampshire

Tougher criticism as Democrats debate in New Hampshire Published on February 08, 2020 at 06:04AM by By STEVE PEOPLES, AP National Political Writer MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Fueled by a growing sense of urgency, the Democrats' leading presidential contenders were set to embrace more aggressive tactics as Friday night's high-stakes debate got underway and the 2020 primary season roared into a critical new phase. Seven Democrats faced off in New Hampshire, just four days before the state's first-in-the-nation primary election, for what could be the final debate-stage meeting for multiple candidates. The field has been shaken and reshaped by chaotic Iowa caucuses earlier this week that raised deeper questions about several candidates' political survival. Acknowledging the stakes, Joe Biden's campaign was predicting a “forceful, fiery” performance. Two candidates, Vermont Sen.

SFGATE: Candidates take a deep breath before debate, NH primary

Candidates take a deep breath before debate, NH primary Published on February 08, 2020 at 03:48AM by By KATHLEEN RONAYNE and HUNTER WOODALL, Associated Press MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — The final stretch before the New Hampshire primary is typically a frenetic period for White House hopefuls eager to make their mark early in the nomination process. But four days away from the next contest, the scene in New Hampshire is downright calm. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders made a morning appearance Friday, and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren made an impromptu stop in a cafe to meet winners of a contest. But otherwise, most major candidates were off the trail in New Hampshire. It's a fitting end to a week in which the fallout from the chaotic Iowa caucuses, the climax of President Donald Trump's impeachment trial, the need to replenish campaign coffers or the demands of national television appearances have distracted candidates from the traditional New Hampshire glad-handing. The pace
