What time is the fifth 2020 Democratic debate?
The debate will begin at 8pm CT. It will be moderated by MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, NBC News correspondent Andrea Mitchell, NBC News correspondent Kristen Welker, and Washington Post reporter Ashley Parker.
Which candidates are in this debate?
The field has narrowed since the last debate in October. This time only 10 2020 hopefuls will take the stage.
They include:
- Former Vice President Joe Biden
- Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.)
- Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)
- Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.)
- Mayor Pete Buttigieg
- Businessman Andrew Yang
- Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.)
- Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.)
- Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii)
- Businessman Tom Steyer
To qualify for this debate, the candidates needed to get at least three percent in four qualified polls and donations from at least 165,000 unique donors—including a minimum of 600 per state in at least 20 states.
Some of the notable names who you’ve seen in past debates that will not be on the stage include former HUD Secretary Julian Castro—who did not meet the thresholds to qualify—and former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, who dropped out of the race.
