South Carolina Debate
The gloves came off during last night's debate. According to CNN, the heat was on front-runner Bernie Sanders, with the other six candidates taking shots at him in an attempt to knock him off the path to the Democratic nomination. The other candidates believe that nominating the Senator would weaken the Democratic Party in the general election, both against President Trump and in the House and Senate races. This was the last time candidates got to show who can throw the meanest punch before the South Carolina primaries, as well as Super Tuesday.

AP said the CDC has warned the public to prepare for a coronavirus outbreak, and Trump said the situation is under control.
