What can we expect from this debate?
With the first Democratic primaries beginning in nearly five months, the stakes are higher for the candidates at Thursday’s debate.
The Deseret News has reported that this will be the first meeting on the debate stage between Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren, two of the top presidential contenders from the Democratic party. With Biden still considered in the lead for now, it is expected that he will be a subject of attack during this debate, according to NPR.
Meanwhile, candidate Andrew Yang has claimed that he has something “unprecedented” in store for the debate, the Deseret News reported.
All of the candidates will be seeking ways to stand out Thursday night in what has been a crowded field of contenders this election cycle.
