On a day when coronavirus dominated the news, with airports in chaos and the country’s largest school about to close, former Vice President Joe Biden and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders debated one-on-one for the first time in the Democratic primary and the pandemic monopolized their meeting too.

Take a look at the top moments from Sunday’s debate between former Vice President Joe Biden and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.

Former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders sought in Sunday’s Democratic debate to cast themselves as best-positioned to lead the nation through a global pandemic, with Biden pledging to deploy the military to help with recovery efforts and Sanders using the crisis to pitch his long-sought overhaul of the country’s health care system.

It took 10 Democratic debates to winnow the stage to just two candidates, and on Sunday night Bernie Sanders faced Joe Biden one-on-one. The debate was relocated from Phoenix to Washington, D.C., amid growing concerns about the COVID-19 coronavirus. Check out the blog below to see how the debate unfolded in real time.

Sunday’s Democratic presidential debate is likely to be dominated by the mounting coronavirus crisis.

Wednesday’s Democratic debate signaled a sharp turn in the party’s primary contest.

One after another, Democratic presidential candidates took turns at the start of their latest debate to take shots at former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg. And each time, the crowd at The Abbey, a gay bar in West Hollywood, California, reacted with uproarious cheers, NBC News reports.

From the opening bell, Democrats unleashed an aggressive verbal assault on New York billionaire Mike Bloomberg and raised new questions about Bernie Sanders’ take-no-prisoners politics in a contentious debate Wednesday night on the Las Vegas strip.

Democratic presidential candidates sparred in a debate in Las Vegas, and The Associated Press examined their claims. The AP Fact Check finds that Mike Bloomberg in his first debate appearance offered a distorted account of why “stop and frisk” declined when he was New York mayor.

“Democrats take a huge risk if we just substitute one arrogant billionaire for another,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren said about Michael Bloomberg. That was just one of the comments for the newcomer on stage, but no candidate was spared. Conan Nolan reports for the NBC4 News at 11 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 19, 2020.
