Here’s What You Need to Know About the October Debate

VP Joe Biden, who sustains a polling lead, is set to take center stage, flanked by Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. The debate is set to be hosted by the New York Times and CNN and be held outside of Columbus, Ohio at Otterbein University.

According to CNN, the Democratic National Committee made the decision to hold the debate on a single night, with all twelve candidates — two more than the debate in September, despite having capped the quantity of candidates onstage at ten for previous debates.

Senator Sanders was hospitalized on October 1st after suffering chest pain on his campaign trail and underwent a procedure that inserted two stents. The campaign has stated that he’s recovering well yet hasn’t indicated how long he’ll be off of the trail and cancelled all upcoming appearances.

In order to make it on to the stage for October, Dem. candidates needed to earn 2% support in 4 polls approved by the DNC between June 28th and 11:59 p.m. Eastern on Oct. 1 and raise donations from 130,000 people. Both San Francisco billionaire Tom Steyer and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard qualified for the 4th debate, after coming up short on making it to the stage for September.

Thresholds to make the 4th debate were the exact same as the one in September; however, candidates had a bit more time to qualify this time around.

12 candidates taking stage:

·       Former VP Joe Biden

·       NJ Senator Cory Booker

·       South Bend, IN, Mayor Pete Buttigieg

·       Julian Castro, Former Secretary of Housing & Urban Development

·       CA Senator Kamala Harris

·       MN Senator Amy Klobuchar

·       Former TX Rep. Beto O’Rourke

·       VT Senator Bernie Sanders

·       CA billionaire Tom Steyer

·       MA Senator Elizabeth Warren

·       Entrepreneur Andrew Yang

·       HI Rep. Tulsi Gabbard
