Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden pushed back against President Trump‘s efforts to link him to Bernie Sanders during the first debate on Tuesday night, declaring that he beat the self-described democratic socialist by a “whole hell of a lot.”
“The matter of the fact is that I beat Bernie Sanders,” Biden said during the debate, hosted by Case Western Reserve University and The Cleveland Clinic. “By a whole hell of a lot.”
Biden, who has laid out a plan to expand the ACA by adding a public option that’s open to all Americans but preserves the option for individuals to keep their private insurance, rejected that assessment.
“My party is me,” he said. “I am the Democratic Party right now. The platform of the Democratic Party is what I approved of.”
The showdown is being moderated by “Fox News Sunday” anchor Chris Wallace.
