Lineup set for second Democratic presidential debate July 30 & 31
On Thursday, CNN announced the lineup for each night of the
second presidential primary
debate in Detroit, Michigan. To avoid one debate being labeled an undercard
event, CNN used a random drawing to distribute the 20 presidential
candidates that qualified across the two debate nights.
- Here are the candidates for Tuesday, July 30: Steve Bullock, Pete Buttigieg, John Delaney, John Hickenlooper, Amy Klobuchar, Beto O'Rourke, Tim Ryan, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Marianne Williamson.
- The other ten candidates will debate on Wednesday, July 31: Michael Bennet, Joe Biden, Bill de Blasio, Cory Booker, Julián Castro, Tulsi Gabbard, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, Jay Inslee, and Andrew Yang.
- Wayne Messam, Seth Moulton, Joe Sestak, and Tom Steyer did not reach the polling or fundraising qualification requirements for this debate. Mike Gravel achieved the fundraising threshold but did not make the debate stage because tiebreaker rules favored candidates who qualified via polling.
- All 25 Democratic candidates will have to meet a new set of criteria to appear in the third presidential primary debate in September in Houston. Candidates must reach 2 percent support or more in four qualifying national or early state polls and receive donations from at least 130,000 unique donors and a minimum of 400 unique donors per state in at least 20 states.
