The location of the debate was moved from Phoenix to Washington, D.C, amid concerns over the virus, and there will be no live audience.In addition, one of the original planned moderators, Jorge Ramos of Univision, stepped back from his role after potentially being exposed to the virus.Second, this is the smallest stage since primary debates began last June. It will only include Biden and Sanders.
Biden and Sanders also for the first time will be seated next to each other, rather than standing behind lecterns as in previous debates. The last Democratic debate was last month before the South Carolina primary. Since then, five Democratic presidential candidates who were last on the stage have dropped out. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who is still running for president, did not qualify for that debate nor Sunday's.
