What to expect from night 2 of 2nd debates [View all]
After Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren fended off repeated attacks from moderate competitors, the next 10 presidential primary contenders take the stage Wednesday for second night of the second Democratic debates.
During the first night, polling front-runner and former Vice President Joe Biden's name was not mentioned once, but now he'll share the stage with Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., flanked by the all the candidates of color running in the presidential primary, after a random live drawing split the 20 qualifying contenders between the two nights.
Airing on CNN at 8 p.m. ET, Wednesday night's debate is expected to be more contentious than Tuesday's, picking up where the first debates in Miami left off: When Biden was relegated to playing defense after a game-changing moment for Harris and other lesser-known candidates saw spikes in fundraising and polling following much-needed breakout performances.
For the last few weeks, campaign aides and surrogates have been sparring over policy in back-and-forth statements, cable TV appearances, and on social media, but now the candidates will have the chance to speak for themselves on their differences and present their visions for the country.
The second ten candidates who are set to square off on Wednesday are:
Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet
New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand
Former HUD Secretary Julián Castro
New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker
Former Vice President Joe Biden
California Sen. Kamala Harris
Andrew Yang
Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio
