NBC, DNC: Announces Debate Lineups

Summary from the AllSides News Team

On Friday morning, NBC announced it's lineup for a two-day debate event, featuring 20 of the Democratic candidates running for president. While the lineups were randomized, the DNC assured voters that the front runners would not all be stacked on one day. However, on June 26th, Elizabeth Warren is the only front runner on stage; the rest of the nine who will share a stage with Warren do not crack double digits in any given poll. Beto O' Rourke, Tulsi Gabbard, Cory Booker, Julian Castro, Jay Inslee, Amy Klobuchar, Bill de Blasio, Tim Ryan, and John Delaney will share the stage with Warren. On June 27th, the marquee match-up will be between Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, and Pete Buttigieg- the top three contenders according to Iowa polls. They will share a stage with Andrew Yang, John Hickenlooper, Eric Swalwell, Kirsten Gillibrand, Michael Bennet, Marianne Williamson, and Kamala Harris. Biden, Sanders, Buttigieg, and Harris make up four of the top five candidates in national polls. Some candidates did not qualify for the debates- including Mike Gravel, Seth Moulton, Steve Bullock, and Wayne Messam.
