8:59 PM: Biden asked how he can convince black voters how he can change years of inequities. Biden says he worked in the projects as a public defender and extended the Voting Rights Act for 25 years. He claims he worked on getting rid of redlining and talks about giving people of color more opportunities to build wealth. He also wants to go after people involved in “gentrification.”

8:57 PM: Warren says it is important to talk about race and the role the federal government played in discriminating against African Americans. She throws in a jab at Bloomberg for blaming African Americans and Latinos for causing the housing crisis while she was fighting so they didn’t get screwed again.

Garrett suggests Warren is saying Bloomberg is a “borderline racist” and Bloomberg says Warren is “misinformed” about his redlining comments. Bloomberg says he is surprised the “other contestants” showed up after he beat them in an attempt at a joke that fell completely flat.

Probably the heat and humidity in Charleston. The heat down in battery park can take your breath away; the humidity is terrible there year round. She's from up north so that's probably what's doing it.
