Who was on the attack in the third Democratic debate? The play-by-play

Our graphic shows which candidates attacked other candidates, and which attacked President Trump.

Vice President Joe Biden had a target on his back at the second presidential debate in July — and that remained in the third debate Thursday.

NBC News tracked how many times each candidate attacked, criticized or called out another candidate during the debate in the graphic above. It also indexes the number of times the candidates attacked President Donald Trump, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Wall Street and corporations, and the “ultra-rich.”
