WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders blasted President Donald Trump's handling of the coronavirus outbreak during Sunday's Democratic debate, and offered competing visions for how they would lead in a time of crisis that has upended the daily lives of Americans.

In their first one-on-one debate, the two Democratic contenders to face Trump in the November election clashed on the proper response to the pandemic and other pressing issues, with the centrist Biden arguing he would focus on results, while the progressive Sanders pushed for bigger, more fundamental changes.
