The conference was divided into half-hour question-and-answer sessions and is a part of a national convention. It was held at the J.W. Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa in Aventura and was mostly focused on the issues of racism and racial inequality.
Addressing these issues, Buttigieg also underlined that they will eventually destabilize the United States as a country.
And while Bernie Sanders also didn’t waste his opportunity to blame Trump for being a demagogue, he spent most of his time on stage explaining his presidential campaign details.
