Tonight at 8 p.m. ET, the second half of the 20 remaining Democratic candidates will face off in round two of the Democratic presidential primary debates. Up next, it's Senator Michael Bennet, Former Vice President Joe Biden, Senator Cory Booker, Julián Castro, Representative Tulsi Gabbard, Mayor Bill de Blasio, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Senator Kamala Harris, Governor Jay Inslee, and Andrew Yang. Of note, Rep. Eric Swalwell of California, who participated in the first debate in June, dropped out of the race, and Gov. Bullock took the open spot.
To qualify for this round of debates, candidates must have received campaign contributions from at least 65,000 unique donors or gotten support from at least 1% of voters in at least three national or state polls. Five candidates did not meet these requirements. Ahead, here's how to tune into tonight's action.
