The 2020 Democratic presidential contest is most likely headed to Texas for the third televised debate of the party’s primary campaign.

Houston is expected to host the Democratic debate on Sept. 12 and 13, sponsored by ABC News and the Spanish-language network Univision, according to two people with direct knowledge of the plans who requested anonymity to share confidential details.

ABC executives are close to completing a contract with a Houston-based venue, the people said. Though the papers are not yet signed, both network and party are anticipating a late-summer event in the Texas city, where the average September temperature can reach the high 80s.

Expect it to hotter than that, inside and outside.

2. I'll be surprised if they need more than one night for the debates.

I expect that the field will be whittled down to 10 candidates or less due to the new rules to qualify.
