Today’s drawing for the first Dem presidential debate resulted in four of the top five candidates on the June 27 stage: Biden, Sanders, Buttigieg and Harris
The Democratic National Committee announced the lineups for the first party-sanctioned presidential debates, after a random drawing Friday in New York.
The decision of when to air each debate lineup was made by NBC News executives, according to a Democratic official familiar with the discussion. Some of the campaigns were told that NBC's basis for their decision was to “maximize viewership,” the official told POLITICO. Eight candidates polled above that 2 percent mark: Biden, Booker, Buttigieg, Harris, Klobuchar, O’Rourke, Sanders and Warren.
The two nontraditional candidates — the entrepreneur Yang and the spiritual guru Williamson — will also be appearing on the second night, alongside many of the top-polling candidates.
