For those who still need this?
They will have a better chance to see the final people up for the nomination….
The debate’s will be in the early states of Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina….
(Right now Biden leads in two of the states and Buttigieg leads in the other two)
This will occur as the Trump impeachment trial drama plays out…
The Democratic National Committee announced it will hold four debates for its presidential candidates in the first two months of 2020, a jam-packed schedule as voting kicks off.
One debate will be held in each of the four early voting states: Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina.
The Iowa debate — the seventh in a series of twelve planned debates — will be on Jan. 14. It will be hosted by CNN in partnership with The Des Moines Register at Drake University in Des Moines.
The New Hampshire debate will be on Feb. 7, hosted by ABC News in partnership with WMUR-TV, ABC’s local affiliate, and Apple News at St. Anselm College outside Manchester.
The ninth debate will be on Feb. 19 in Las Vegas, hosted by NBC News and MSNBC in partnership with The Nevada Independent.
The final early state debate announced will be at The Gaillard Center in Charleston, S.C., on Feb. 25. It will be hosted by CBS News and the Congressional Black Caucus Institute in partnership with Twitter.
Qualification criteria for the debates were not announced — nor were the format or moderators….
Note…
All this debating will be going on for Democrats…
Donald Trump will most likely have no serious opposition for his parties nomination…
Emerson just released a poll with Biden in a tight lead in Iowa, followed by Sanders and THEN Buttigieg….
Iowa appears to be fluid in who will win…

Wow – Sanders has gained ten points (him gaining 7 and Biden losing 3) in South Carolina. It no longer looks like Biden is a sure win there.
Biden continues to do well in the national polls, but has struggled in the early states. He apparently hasn’t impressed people at the campaign events – other than that people like him personally. I’m still hoping he can get his act together because there is a good chance he will be the nominee.
Hey Z?
The same poll has Biden 27% to Sanders 20%
The RCP average has Biden 35% , Warren 16.3% and Sanders 15.3% WITH the Post Couier poll averaged IN…
I wouldn’t bet on Sanders taking South Carolina if I was you…..
Sanders IS firmly back in second place nationally as Warren continues to fade….
BTW?
In the RCP national numbers?
Warren and Sanders number added TOGETHER are just a few over Biden’s number….
State polls are completed infrequently. Although there is danger in reading too much from one poll, there is probably even greater danger in looking at polls that are more than a couple of months old. I am aware that Biden was previously kicking butt in SC. It is much less certain that he still is doing so.
Biden WILL WIN SC by a sizeable margin….
Sanders has always been in second place there….
As long as Sanders and Warren keep running?
Biden will collect delegates in the BIG states and THAT is how he will get the nomination…
Buttigieg IS gonna hit a brick wall after the first states which have how many black/hispanics/asians…maybe 10?
The RCP state polls contain December polls….
Another look….
Buttigieg leads in Iowa RCP average…
But Sanders now leads in NH average….
Biden trail both in both early states but leads in Nevada, SC , Texas and is second behind Warren in Mass…
I’m not betting. I’m just saying Biden’s lead there has plummeted.
Gotcha….
There are FIVE more debates before the first caucuses and primaries….
