ROANOKE, Va. – The latest democratic debate could be a make-or-break moment for some of the candidates. Klobuchar needs to prove her strong performance in the last debate was not just a one-time deal. According to Lynch, Biden needs to have a strong performance in order to regain some of the momentum he lost after the caucus and primary in Iowa and New Hampshire. He absolutely, positively needs a first place finish in South Carolina if he’s going to be able to continue. He’s aware of that.
