Biden maintains grip on 2020 Democratic race after third debate

Those expecting Joe Biden’s presidential candidacy, to flame out any day now, will have to keep waiting.

The evening likely left the race fairly much as it was before the debate, with Biden holding a sizeable, but not overwhelming lead, over U.S. Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. But on Thursday, his resilience and forceful defence of his record as a U.S. senator, and No. 2 to former President Barack Obama left wide open the question of who else in the field might rise to shake up the race.

Castro, 44, alleged Biden was “forgetting” something he had said a few minutes earlier and then followed it up by charging that he, not Biden, was the better steward of Obama’s legacy, resulting in audible gasps from the large crowd in attendance.Biden’s advisers criticised Castro for what they called a “cheap shot” and argued that Castro had not learned the lesson of the first two debates – attacking Biden does not pay off.

Biden was helped as well by several candidates paying homage to Obama’s record, which reinforced Biden’s long-standing argument that he is best positioned to build on the former president’s achievements and reverse Trump’s policies.
