What You Need To Know Before The 2020 Democratic Primary Debates Begin

We're just days from the first two 2020 Democratic presidential primary debates. Yes, there are two because there are so many Democrats running for President, that they needed more than one night to showcase all of the candidates. The first night is not filled with as many big names as the second, but there should be some good action in both debates.

The first night includes Elizabeth Warren, Julián Castro, Amy Klobucharm and Beto O'Rourke.

Good news for the last three, they'll get prime debate minutes against only one leading candidate, Elizabeth Warren. Warren seems to be the loser of this random draw — she is the only candidate in the first debate whose polling routinely is in the double digits.

The second night features basically every single other frontrunner.

It includes Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, and Pete Buttigieg. This is the night most people will probably watch. You might say the NBC is the loser of these two draws because all of the main candidates are concentrated into one debate, meaning the second night will have higher ratings than the first.

Here's what to watch for in the debates.

The candidates' views on healthcare, Medicare-for-all specifically, how they would tackle climate change and immigration. There might also be a focus on whether the country should move more left or stay towards the middle. Having Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders together on the same stage will definitely bring that topic up. Also, there are three women on the first night and three women on the second night — it's the most women ever running for president and is something to be proud of. Who will rise to the top of these debates?

The debates are going to definitely be crowded and sometimes, hard to pay attention to, but that's what happens when you put 10 politicians onstage at the same time. The debates are on June 26th and 27th in Miami, Florida from 9 to 11 p.m. eastern time.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
