Democratic presidential candidates clashed Wednesday in a debate over the future of health care in America, racial inequality and their ability to build a winning coalition to take on President Donald Trump next year.

The faceoff came after hours of testimony in the impeachment inquiry of Trump and at a critical juncture in the Democratic race to run against him in 2020.

With less than three months before the first voting contests, big questions hang over the front-runners, time is running out for lower-tier candidates to make their move, and new Democrats are launching improbable last-minute bids for the nomination.
