It’s a showdown of the Democratic presidential primary field’s top progressives Tuesday night as Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren headline the first night of this week’s debate in Detroit. Here are a few things to watch:
Detroit hosts the July Democratic debate. Some candidates have campaigned in nearby Flint, but the city’s struggles and water crisis haven’t been a focus.
O’Rourke arrived on the campaign trail with a splash in April, with a Vanity Fair cover profile and a lot of national buzz following his close 2018 loss against Republican Ted Cruz for one of Texas’ U.S. Senate seats. But it’s been largely downhill from there, with O’Rourke’s poll numbers dipping from the 8% to 10% range to the 2% to 3% range.
Buttigieg is currently polling about 5% nationally, which is nothing to sneeze at. It’s better than several U.S. senators and governors in the race. It also means the youthful South Bend mayor has already cleared the bar to qualify for the next debate in September, helping ensure he’ll be relevant after the tighter qualification rules squeeze weaker candidates out of the race.
