Where To Watch: Viewing Parties Set For Democratic Debates
LOS ANGLES (CBSLA) — The second set of debates for the 2020 Democratic presidential campaign will be held Tuesday and Wednesday, and some local spots are getting in on the action with viewing parties.
The debates will begin at 5 p.m. both nights and will each feature 10 candidates. The debates will be streamed — without requiring a log-in or cable provider — on all CNN platforms, including CNN.com, CNN's mobile apps and CNNgo apps for Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire, Chromecast and Android TV.
To qualify for the debate, candidates needed to either register 1% support in three qualified polls or have 65,000 unique donors to their campaign — including a minimum of 200 donors in at least 20 states.
A draw determined whether candidates would debate Tuesday or Wednesday, and the candidates' positions on the stage at the Fox Theatre in Detroit were determined by public polling numbers, with top candidates in the center of the stage.
Dana Bash, Don Lemon and Jake Tapper will be the moderators.
Standing from left to right in Tuesday's debates will be author Marianne Williamson; Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan; Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar; South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg; Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders; Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren; former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke; former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper; former Maryland Rep. John Delaney; and Montana Gov. Steve Bullock.
