Thursday night’s debate offers a final opportunity for Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) to woo New York voters ahead of the Democratic primary on Tuesday.

The two candidates will face off in a two-hour exchange at the Brooklyn Navy Yard starting at 9 p.m. ET. CNN’s Wolf Blitzer will moderate the event on his home network, with additional questions provided by CNN’s Dana Bash and local cable channel NY1’s Errol Louis.

The debate comes at the end of two of the most contentious weeks in the Democratic primary contest. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) have been at each other’s throats about their qualifications to serve as president and have had to swat down unfortunate remarks from their surrogates.

Because New York is home to many of the country’s news outlets and the state’s primary is seen as a must-win for both candidates, all eyes are expected to be on Brooklyn Thursday night.
