Read Live Updates From The Las Vegas Democratic Debate
Six Democratic presidential hopefuls are debating Wednesday night in Las Vegas, just three days before Nevada’s “first in the West” caucus.
The ninth of the Democratic primary cycle is the first to include former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who entered the race late and didn’t compete in key early-voting states Iowa and New Hampshire. (He also isn’t on the ballot in Nevada.)
He’ll be joined by Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), former Vice President Joe Biden and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
The debate is hosted by NBC News, MSNBC, Noticias Telemundo and The Nevada Independent. There will be five moderators: “NBC Nightly News” anchor Lester Holt, NBC’s “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd, NBC White House correspondent Hallie Jackson, Noticias Telemundo correspondent Vanessa Hauc and Nevada Independent editor Jon Ralston.
