Related: About this forumBiden, Klobuchar hit Bloomberg's record ahead of Nevada debate
Former Vice President Joe Biden and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar took aim Sunday at former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg ahead of this weeks Democratic presidential debate.
Bloomberg hasnt yet qualified for Wednesdays NBC News and MSNBC debate in Las Vegas, but has through Tuesday to meet the partys criteria.
With that potential clash looming, both Biden and Klobuchar criticized Bloomberg in interviews with Meet the Press at a time when the former mayor faces increased scrutiny over past comments about race, policing and women at his eponymous company.
$60 billion can buy you a lot of advertising, but it can't erase your record. There's a lot to talk about with Michael Bloomberg, Biden said, approximating Bloombergs net worth.
You take a look at the stop-and-frisk proposals. You take a look at his ideas on redlining he's talking about. You take a look at what he's done relative to the African American community. I'm anxious to debate Michael on the issues relating to, you know, what we're going to face in Super Tuesday.
It's going to be awful hard to go out and win those the base support of the Democratic party, the African Americans, Latinos and working class white folks, and put that coalition together. That's how you win an election. You put that coalition together, he added.

The entire Trump administration, Republican enablers, Mitch McConnell should be the focus.
