AFP, MIAMITen Democrats on Wednesday clashed in the first debate of the US presidential race, with US Senator Elizabeth Warren cementing her status as a top-tier candidate and several underdogs using the issue of immigration to clamor for the limelight. What they heard right off the bat was Warren, the ideological progressive and only candidate on stage polling a double-digit percentage, knocking what she calls a rigged economy. “Who’s this economy really working for?” asked Warren, who received the first question. De Blasio, a late entrant to the race, earned loud applause when he reminded citizens immigrants are not their enemies. “And I promise you this: I will fight for you as hard as I fight for my own family.”
