Top 2020 Democrats to face Iowa voters in CNN town halls one week before caucuses

CNN

The leading contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination will deliver closing arguments to Iowa voters in live, back-to-back CNN town halls airing on consecutive nights one week before the Iowa caucuses.

The hour-long town halls will air in primetime on January 28 and 29 from the campus of Drake University and feature questions from Iowa Democrats and CNN moderators, the network announced Friday.

On January 28, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders will appear at 8 p.m. ET, followed by former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg at 9 p.m. ET, businessman Andrew Yang at 10 p.m. ET, and businessman Tom Steyer at 11 p.m. ET.
The next night, former Vice President Joe Biden will appear at 8 p.m. ET, followed by Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren at 9 p.m. ET and Sen. Amy Klobuchar at 10 p.m. ET.


Unfair Corporate Media!!! When is the critical John Delaney Town Hall?

Now, what is their rationale for giving Yang one, who failed to qualify for the last debate and has yet to qualify for the next debate?

And if it were just about polling numbers, Bloomberg is polling much better than Yang now.

I find it super interesting that they suddenly decided not to increase the number of individual donors for the next debate.

She met the established threshold for donors, just like Yang did.

She also met the established polling requirements, unlike Yang.
