What’s happening:The Democratic presidential primary features more candidates than any race in modern American history. At its peak, the field contained 24 contenders. Heading into Thursday’s debate, there are still 20 people left in the race.
Why there’s debate:The large field of candidates has raised concerns that voters might be overwhelmed by the choices. Some also worry that lower-tier candidates are taking up debate airtime that could be used to help voters decide among the frontrunners. Others have also suggested that some candidates remain in the race to promote themselves over the earnest desire to compete for the presidency.
On the other hand, there are those who believe that a large field actually benefits the Democrats by presenting a broad and diverse set of candidates to excite voters, who will carry that enthusiasm into the general election. Others point out that it is far too early to demand low-polling candidates drop out, since no actual primary votes will be cast for another four-and-a-half months.
I don't remember this many Democrats in 2012 or 2016.
No have everyone of them run...same old story.
😂
That’s what the primaries are for.
