Details set for Dem debate

Looks like a one-nighter for ABC News. With the field of Democratic candidates who qualify for the debate stage reduced to ten, the next face-off will be limited to one night, instead of the previously planned two, on September 12. It will be the first time front runners, former VP Joe Biden and Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, meet onstage. In addition to Biden and Warren, Cory Booker, Pete Buttigieg, Julian Castro, Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar, Beto O’Rourke, Bernie Sanders and Andrew Yang made the cut.

Slated to moderate the event, also televised by Univision, are George Stephanopoulos, David Muir, Linsey Davis and Jorge Ramos. The debate will take place from Texas Southern Christian University in Houston. Beginning Tuesday, September 10, Muir will anchor World News Tonight from Houston. Stephanopoulos will anchor Good Morning America from Houston beginning Wednesday, September 11, and Byron Pitts will anchor Nightline from Houston on Thursday, September 12.
