Lineup & Details for the March 15 Debate

Tonight’s debate is hosted by CNN and Univision. The debate will air from 8 to 10:15 p.m. Eastern on March 15, 2020. There’s a chance it might go a little long, as these sometimes do.

The following candidates will be in tonight’s debate. There are only two tonight.

• Joe Biden, former Vice President
• Bernie Sanders, Vermont senator

Everyone in the previous debates has dropped out except Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, and Tulsi Gabbard. Gabbard has two delegates but the DNC increased the requirements before tonight’s debate and her delegates don’t qualify her to participate. Tom Steyer, Elizabeth Warren, Michael Bloomberg, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, and others have dropped out.

You can expect the coronavirus to be a big topic of discussion in tonight’s debate. It reshaped much of what was going to happen in the debate tonight. The debate was supposed to be held at a large venue in Arizona without a live audience. Then the debate was moved to a TV studio in Washington, D.C. because of concerns about the coronavirus. The debate is taking place at the CNN Washington Bureau, CBS News reported.

One of the moderators of the debate also dropped out. Jorge Ramos said he was exposed to someone who tested positive for coronavirus so he is now self-isolating.  Dana Bash and Jake Tapper are expected to still moderate tonight’s debate.

After this, the next debate will be in April. This is expected to be the last debate before the Democratic National Convention. It’s also likely that Biden and Sanders won’t host any more rallies, since many states are now discouraging large crowds due to the coronavirus.

There are still quite a few primaries before the convention, along with some that have been delayed because of coronavirus concerns. Although Biden is in the lead, Sanders still has a chance to secure the nomination. The election is still available to both candidates.
