In Dallas the three Democratic presidential hopefuls met in a LWV event that felt more like a conversation than a debate. Jesse Jackson faced scrutiny for not repudiating Louis Farrakhan, whose support drew questions about Jackson’s stance on Farrakhan and past ethnic remarks. The session highlighted tensions as Mondale and Hart offered milder exchanges, while Jackson’s ties to Farrakhan drew the strongest attention.
