Fact-checking the first Democratic presidential debate | The Fact Checker

We survived 20 candidates and two nights of the first 2020 Democratic debate. The presidential hopefuls made claims on medicare-for-all, income inequality and Trump's tax cut on both nights.

Night one New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), Former HUD secretary Julian Castro, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ.), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Former congressman Beto O'Rourke (D-Tex.), Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii), Gov. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.), Former congressman John Delaney (D-Md.) took the stage. Night two was Former vice president Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), Former governor John Hickenlooper, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Rep.
