Sen. Coons: ‘I Thought Joe Biden Was Sharp and Compelling Last Night’

EXCERPT:

COONS: "Frankly, I thought Joe was sharp and compelling last night. I thought he had one of the most inspiring closings at the end of what was a grueling three-hour debate where he was taking incoming from all sides. And, frankly, Julian Castro’s mishandled personal attack on Joe is, as Mayor Pete Buttigieg said, exactly the reason why Americans change the channel from this kind of debate free-for-all. It is perfectly legitimate for candidates to go after each other’s policies and plans, their voting record, their vision for the country. But that kind of needless and groundless personal attack out of Julian Castro I think will be promptly rewarded with a drop in the polls, as Kamala Harris saw after the very first debate. Julian got it wrong. He was not just attacking Biden’s policy position. He was suggesting he couldn’t remember what he’d said two minutes earlier. Fact checkers say Julian got it wrong."
