The third round of Democratic debates, hosted by ABC News, will take place in Houston on September 12 — and September 13, if one more candidate qualifies.
So far, 10 have: former Vice President Joe Biden, former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX), South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, former HUD Secretary Julián Castro, tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang, and Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Kamala Harris (D-CA), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
According to the New York Times, billionaire Tom Steyer is only one poll away from qualifying and has met the donor threshold. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) is two polls short and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) is short three polls and 20,000 donors.
The moderators will be chief anchor George Stephanopoulos, “World News Tonight” anchor David Muir, ABC News correspondent Linsey Davis and Univision anchor Jorge Ramos.
Here’s everything you need to know about the debate.
The debate should be limited candidates who are constituents of no other incumbent Republican.
Two nights of debates is NOT a good format…for example, the second night debaters will be forewarned while the first night debaters are the guinea pigs. Additionally, it is time for all Dem candidates to debate en masse!
Guess we’re getting a little closer to where the rubber meets the road, but still too damn many especially for one night. Wake me up when this is over.
The one who talks the fastest gets the mostest.
Ugh! Too much Democracy! Why can’t our betters just choose for us so that I can get back to Instagram to see what Kim and Kanye do next???
