Some electoral districts are called "precincts." They have committees that oversee them.

So a NSG style gotcha question that acts as if she ought to have photographic memories of her complete plan.

Cannot think of a name wrote:We won't be getting two nights of smaller groups for the October debate.
The CNN/New York Times Democratic presidential debate in October will occur on one night, the Democratic National Committee told campaigns Friday.
"To address several inquiries we have received we are writing to let you know that, pending a final decision after the certification deadline, it is the intention of the DNC and our media partners to hold the October debate over one night on Tuesday October 15th," the DNC wrote in an email Friday morning.

12 candidates debating on one night is gonna be a mess. Would have made much more sense to split it into two nights with 6 candidates each night.

It is actually. The thing was made to have Warren look like a hypocrite while taking a jab at Biden at the same time.

It's actually a bit of a tricky question, even if you ignore the connection with Biden.

On one hand, if you let them serve on the board of a foreign company, it opens the door for nepotism and conflicts of interest.

On the other hand, the kid did not choose who their parents are, and they should be free to have their own career.
