The 2020 presidential campaign is about to go into hyperdrive, with 20 Democratic candidates now set to debate between two nights later in June. The Democratic National Committee and NBC News, which is hosting the first debates, announced the lineups of who will debate each night on Friday, giving the first sense of what to expect.Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth WarrenHawaii Rep. Tulsi GabbardNew York City Mayor Bill de BlasioCalifornia Sen.
In an effort to avoid the appearance of an unfair balance at the debates, with top-tier candidates appearing on June 26 and a “junior varsity” group on June 27, the DNC set the makeup of the debate stages from a random draw split evenly between two groups — candidates polling below an average of 2% and candidates polling above 2%. The DNC delegates the process for the random draw to the debate host, NBC News, and will do so for all future debates that require a random draw.
Perez, a former labor secretary who stepped in as DNC chair more than two years ago, first outlined his plans for the debate process last December, making a point to address widely felt concerns about the fairness and transparency of the nominating process four years ago. Outlining his plans for reporters in December, Perez said that he and his aides consulted former candidates and campaigns during more than “100 hours of conversations” for advice on revising the debate process ahead of 2020. “Our north star principle is to give people a fair shake,” he said.
