Thursday, 1 August 2019 09:14

Frontrunner Joe Biden was once again under attack at the second Democratic presidential debate in Detroit.

The former Vice President received a barrage of criticism and questions from the nine other candidates he was sharing the stage with.

They quizzed him on a range of topics ranging from his track record in the White House to criminal justice, immigration and healthcare.

Following in from the first debate in June, Kamala Harris was one of Biden's leading critics.

“Go easy on me, kid,” Biden told the Senator from California before the debate as they greeted each other on stage.
