The presidential debate season kicked off this evening in Miami. On the first night, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who has passed Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and moved into second place in some polls in recent weeks, is the only top-tier candidate. But she is surrounded by some skilled campaigners, including Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, former Rep. Beto O’Rourke of Texas and Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota.
