“Look at the men on this stage. Collectively, they have lost 10 elections," Elizabeth Warren said.
The issue has strained a previously civil competition between Senators Sanders and Warren, who are fighting for the same progressive votes.
Pressed for more details by debate moderators, Sanders and Warren set out to clear the record on their conflicting statements about a 2018 conversation in which Warren contends Sanders said a woman couldn’t beat President Donald Trump.
“I didn’t say it,” Sanders said. “Anybody who know me knows that it’s incomprehensible to say that a woman could not be president of the United States.”
Earlier, Sanders and Joe Biden confronted each other over the use of military force in the Middle East.
Sanders called the Iraq war “the worst foreign policy blunder in modern American history” and attacked Biden for voting to authorize it. Biden said the vote in 2002 was a mistake but that as vice president under Barack Obama he would compare his record to anyone else’s.
Biden said his Iraq war vote was a “big, big mistake” but that he later sought to prevent a surge in troops. Sanders opposed the Iraq war but voted in favor of the war in Afghanistan.
The first question in the Des Moines Register/CNN debate tested each candidate on their qualifications as commander-in-chief. That’s been a selling point for Biden, but his past foreign policy positions have come under new scrutiny — from the right and the left — for his support of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
