Detroit To Host 2020 Democratic Presidential Debate

DETROIT, MI — Detroit is in the spotlight for the 2020 presidential election.

The Democratic National Committee announced Tuesday that the second presidential primary debate will be held in Detroit on July 30 and 31.

"Detroit embodies the values and character of the Democratic Party," DNC Chair Tom Perez said. "It's a city of grit and determination, a city that has gotten knocked down only to get back up stronger. With its diversity, its storied history and its proud ties to the labor movement, Detroit is the perfect place for our party's second debate."

The debate lineups will be determined at random to provide each candidate a chance to make a case to the national audience, officials said.

The debate could include as many as 20 candidates vying to take on President Donald Trump next year, which is why two nights have been set, according to reports.

Most national polls have former Vice President Joe Biden — who hasn't announced that he's running — with an edge over a large field that includes U.S. Sen.Bernie Sanders of Vermont, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris of California and former U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke of Texas, among many others, the Freep reported.
