Here's where Democrats will stand onstage at the next debate

Politico

Joe Biden is set to feel the squeeze by his progressive competitors.

The former vice president will be at the center of the stage during next month’s Democratic presidential debate in Houston, flanked by Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for the first time.

ABC News on Thursday revealed the order for the 10 candidates who met the polling and fundraising requirements set by the Democratic National Committee. The lineup was determined by polling averages based on the last 10 polls certified by the DNC.

From left to right, the candidates will be Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind., Sanders, Biden, Warren, Sen. Kamala Harris of California, businessman Andrew Yang, former Rep. Beto O’Rourke of Texas, and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro.
