Twenty Democratic contenders will go head-to-head in the first 2020 debate - the largest-ever field of presidential candidates. Here’s what you should to know:
WASHINGTON - When 20 Democrats take the stage next week for the first of 12 prime-time presidential primary debates, they will assemble according to months-in-the-making plans by the Democratic National Committee to accommodate its largest-ever field.
It will be an opportunity for some of the candidates to get their biggest national exposure yet - and for voters to start making decisions about which White House hopeful they will back. When there was a large field of Republican candidates vying for the 2016 nomination, the Republican National Committee opted to hold back-to-back debates on the same day: an earlier “undercard” debate of lesser-known candidates and a “main stage” debate in prime-time of the front runners. The earlier debate had only a fraction of the viewership as the prime-time debate.
To make it onto the debate stage, candidates had to meet criteria set by the DNC, which required either reaching 1% support in three qualifying national polls; or receiving donations from at least 65,000 unique individuals, with 200 donors in at least 20 states.NBC last week held a random drawing in New York City. Officials had two boxes, one containing the names of candidates who polled at 2% or above and the other those who polled below the 2% threshold.
