The second round of Democratic presidential debates is over, ending with night 2 on Wednesday in Detroit.

Center stage featured former Vice President Joe Biden, who had a lot on the line.  Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris traded barbs on several issues — from health care to women's rights to criminal justice — but they also faced criticism from other candidates on the debate stage.

Night 1 also drew a bold line between moderates and progressives onstage.
