DEMOCRATC DEBATE AMID IMPEACHMENT FALLOUT
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA | 19-20 DECEMBER 2019

Seven Democratic presidential candidates will stand on stage this week in Los Angeles, a pool of survivors who have withstood almost a year on the campaign trail, sustained attacks from rivals in both major political parties and five rounds of high-pressure debates.

The sixth and final debate of 2019 will comes as battle lines between Democrats and Republicans are hardening. The divisive impeachment vote in the House of Representatives should come just a few hours before the Democratic candidates take the stage.

Democratic Party infighting is almost certain to be on display at Thursday night's debate, especially among the four candidates in the top-tier: Biden, Buttigieg, Sanders and Warren. The three others on stage — Klobuchar, Steyer and Yang — only narrowly hit the polling threshold needed to qualify and have an obvious incentive to make waves of their own as well.
