Ten candidates took part in back-to-back forums sponsored by The Providence Journal and The Public's Radio.
Eight Democrats vying to win next week's primary for Rhode Island's open seat in Congress squared off Tuesday night in a live televised 12 News debate, tangling over issues from health care to military spending.
Former state Rep. Aaron Regunberg hit a pile-on clearly aimed at taking him down a peg but just as clearly reinforced his status as the front-runner.
Candidates take swipes at each other over issues such as the debt ceiling deal, corporate donors, a family super PAC, and endorsements, while choosing between Del’s and Mr. Lemon.
Regunberg became the target, Amo had a big moment, Matos moved beyond the signatures scandal, and more.
