'America does not want to witness a food fight': Harris breaks up fighting during Democratic debate
In epic fashion, Sen. Kamala Harris broke up bickering between fellow 2020 candidates on stage during the second night of the Democratic debate in Miami, leading to her first stand-out moment of the night.
In several instances in the first few minutes of the debate, the candidates shouted over each other. That was the case after Rep. Eric Swalwell lodged an attack on Joe Biden, using the former vice president's past remarks that it was time to "pass the torch."
Candidates started talking over one another and after she was called upon by the moderators, Harris jumped in.
"Hey guys, you know what, America does not want to witness a food fight," the California senator said. "They want to know how we're going to put food on their table."
The remarks were followed by loud applause, including from several of the 10 candidates on stage.
