At the beginning of the Democratic primary, there was a candidate for everyone, no matter how niche your personal politics were. If you loved the idea of saving up your basic income to buy a Tesla, there was Andrew Yang. If you loved working out and capitalism, there was John Delaney. If you loved orbs, there was Marianne Williamson. If you hated the Iraq War but loved fascist dictators and cults, there was Tulsi Gabbard.

Fare thee well, John Delaney.
On the morning of Friday, January 31st, the self-made multi-millionaire and former congressman from Maryland officially ended his quixotic bid for the 2020 Democratic nomination. His quest began on July 28th, 2017, which means Delaney had been running for president for a whopping 918 days before deciding to hang it up 3 days shy of Monday’s Iowa caucuses. In a press release, his campaign chalked the decision up to an “internal analysis” that found he had no chance.

Donald Trump marched out his same cast of sycophants last week to make the case that black voters — particularly the men — have a friend in the president with the white-nationalist policies. It’s a tired routine, but it remains fascinating that Trump and his party expend so much energy not merely insulting the intelligence of black voters but also by blocking their access to the ballot. Through their fear and sinister behavior, it appears Republicans understand the value of black and Hispanic electorates better than do the Democrats.

When CNN telecasts the next Democratic presidential debate in October, 10 or more candidates are likely to qualify and make it to the stage. But based the Democratic National Committee’s new qualifying criteria announced Monday, it’s the November debate that is very likely to feature a pared down set of contenders.
That’s because the DNC’s new threshold will be difficult for many of the candidates to meet.
Roughly speaking, candidates will need to show that they’ve garnered contributions from 165,000 unique donors and that they have reached 3% in four polls. That compares to the previous threshold — 130,000 individual donors and 2% in four qualifying polls.
Candidates also can qualify for the November event by meeting the donor requirement and by reaching 5% or more support in two single-state polls in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina or Nevada.

After the two night, six hour marathon of the Democratic 2020 primary debates in Detroit, the dust has settled. Here, Rolling Stone presents our consolidated letter grades for the performance of all 20 candidates, over both nights, assessing the contenders’ effectiveness of message, their clarity of purpose, the sting of their attacks, and their success in avoiding gaffes, self-owns, and face-plants.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert riffed on the Democratic primary debates in Detroit on Thursday night with a sketch called “Motown Sings the Debates.” In the spoof, a Motown-style soul quartet performed sing-along renditions of the most common Democratic talking points.
“Papa’s got a kidney stone/Got no insurance, so he’s on his own/But Bernie’s got a plan so Papa won’t lose his home,” goes one song, to the tune of “Papa Was a Rolling Stone.”

The first night of the debate in Detroit turned conventional Democratic political dynamics on their ear.
In the normal state of affairs, politicians calling for modest course corrections are given the presumption of virtuousness on the public stage, while candidates calling for transformation are forced to make the difficult case for change.
But on the stage at the Fox theater Tuesday night, the candidates who had to fight to justify the righteousness of their path were not the tag-teaming progressives demanding sweeping changes — to health, tax and environmental policy. Rather...

Even though CNN split the Democratic presidential candidates into two halves for its latest televised debates, processing all the platforms and campaign promises on night one was exhausting. Enter Stephen Colbert, who gleefully mocked the political chaos in his live post-debate Late Show monologue on Wednesday. The host generated punchlines from the evening’s most talked-about moments — from lesser-known candidates taking aim at frontrunners Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders to Marianne Williamson lamenting President Trump’s “dark psychic force.”
“It’s hard to sum up what happened tonight,” Colbert noted early on.

Ten Democratic presidential contenders took the stage at the Fox Theater in downtown Detroit for the first night of the second round of the 2020 primary debates — and churned out a memorable, marathon debate.
The contest had offered the prospect of a faceoff between progressive champions Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. But instead of fighting, the two candidates with transformative plans for America stuck together, defending their bold agendas against the slings and arrows of can’t-do moderates, particularly former congressman John Delaney and ex-Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper.

Anyone tuning into the Democratic primary debates on CNN expecting to see Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders take swings at each other was likely disappointed, but several less well-known candidates — Marianne Williamson in particular — garnered a perhaps unexpected amount of attention on the stage of 10 in Detroit on Tuesday night.
Warren, Sanders and Pete Buttigieg scored the most talking time, according to NPR’s calculation, in a sprawling, more-than-two-and-a-half-hour debate that covered health care, gun violence, immigration, trade, education and racism.
The two leading progressive candidates took a strong position advocating for Medicare-for-All. Sanders, calling the nation’s current health care system “dysfunctional,” said health care is a “human right, not a privilege,” while Warren fended off the idea that such a plan would raises taxes on the middle class.
“Costs will go up for billionaires and corporations; for middle-class families, costs — total costs — will go down,” she told the crowd,...

Elizabeth Warren scored one of the most talked-about moments during Tuesday’s Democratic primary debate, when she essentially asked former Maryland congressman John Delaney why he’s even bothering to run for president.
During the night, Delaney frequently criticized policies advanced by Warren, calling ideas like Medicare for All “impossible promises” and “more free stuff.” He later said that Democrats need “real solutions, not impossible promises” to win, and called Warren’s policy positions “fairy tale economics.”
Asked for a response by moderator Jake Tapper, Warren said: “I don’t understand why anybody goes to all the trouble of running for president of the United States just to talk about what we really can’t do and shouldn’t fight for,” she said. “I don’t get it.” The line was met with some of the biggest applause of the night.

The first night of the Democrats’ second round of presidential debates of the 2020 election cycle was billed as a matchup between Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, and the two contenders did not disappoint on the CNN-hosted huddle as they faced The Bachelorette season finale on ABC.
In tone and temperament, the two pageants were similar tonight in their search for love and ratings — intentionally or not. Coming in hot and fiery from the start on their mutual policy of “Medicare for All” and railing against the rich and a “corrupt, rigged system,” to quote the Massachusetts senator, the two progressive parental figures went straight for the heart and soul of their party. It was a dash that might leave Joe Biden and Donald Trump as the real winners of tonight’s near-endless debate, in no small part thanks to ex-Today producer Jeff Zucker.

Health care spending makes up somewhere around a fifth of the U.S. economy. It affects every American, and is a life-or-death issue for millions of them every year. And here in the United States, where we spend more on care but die younger than in comparable countries, it’s a mess.

With immigration and Donald Trump’s race-baiting grabbing headlines across the country, both were bound to surface early tonight during the start of the second round of Democratic debates. And the first candidate onstage to accuse the sitting president of racism was one who is quite familiar with these televised face-offs.
Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont broke that Ice. “What Trump is doing through his racism and his xenophobia is demonizing a group of people, and as president, I will end that demonization,” the 2016 campaign alum said. “If a mother and child walk thousands of miles on a dangerous path, in my view they are not criminals, they are people fleeing violence.”
Sanders added, “What we will do the first week in the White House is bring the entire hemisphere together to talk about how we rebuild Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador so people do not have to flee their own countries.

The results also determined that Senator Bernie Sanders would have a chance to debate directly with Senator Elizabeth Warren on the first night of the debates.

Updated with podium positions: Call it The Rematch. CNN picked the field for the July 30 and 31 Democratic debates tonight, and former Vice President Joe Biden will get another chance to square off against Sen. Kamala Harris of California, this time on Night 2 of Round 2. The duo, who famously clashed during the first debates last month, will stand side by side this time.
As for the two other leading candidates, Sens. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts will face off on Night 1.
In an election cycle that features a remarkable amount of diversity among the candidate, it’s notable that the entire field of the July 30 first debate is made up of white candidates.
The 20 Dems will square off in the cycle’s second pair of 10-person debates in two weeks, and CNN’s unique on-air lottery of sorts determined who will be taking their talents where and when.

Tom Steyer, the Democratic billionaire impeach-Trump activist who not so long ago vowed to keep his own name out of the 2020 running, has changed his mind, tossing his hat and $100 million of his own money into the ring.
Hollywood doesn’t seem impressed. “No Tom, just… no,” tweeted Yvette Nicole Brown.
Granted, it’s early days – early minutes, actually – but the response on social media to Steyer’s decision doesn’t seem encouraging.
“We need to stop the practice of billionaires trying to buy elections,” Cynthia Nixon tweeted. “@TomSteyer, think of all the good your $100 million could do for the environment, rather than trying to muscle your way into an already over-crowded and very promising presidential field.”
Tweeted Brown, “No Tom, just… no. This does Not help! Why don’t they get it?! None of these rich dudes seem to get it! We have 20+ candidates! Many are great. Three or four are exemplary.

“We need to stop the practice of billionaires trying to buy elections,” Cynthia Nixon tweeted. “@TomSteyer, think of all the good your $100 million could do for the environment, rather than trying to muscle your way into an already over-crowded and very promising presidential field.”
Tweeted Brown, “No Tom, just… no. This does Not help! Why don’t they get it?! None of these rich dudes seem to get it! We have 20+ candidates! Many are great. Three or four are exemplary.

Bill Maher says there’s “overcrowding” among the Democratic presidential field and some of the candidates should “get the f–k out.”
Maher weighed in on this week’s two-night Democratic debate and said time’s up for half of the 20 candidates who qualified for the match-up.
“Look, there’s too many people in this race, right?” he said Friday night on HBO’s Real Time.
Maher then turned to his guest panel, made up of author Max Brooks, New Yorker writer Adam Gopnik and MSNBC’s Joy Ann Reid, and told them he was going to cull the field of presidential hopefuls, although he did give his guests veto rights.
“I’m going to get rid of ten of them right now,” Maher quipped while holding a stack of the candidates’ headshots.

Bill Maher weighed in on both Democratic debates on HBO’s “Real Time” Friday night, and suggested the immediate exit of half the field of candidates.
“Look, there’s too many people in this race, right?” Maher asked, holding a stack of the candidates’ headshots. “I’m going to get rid of ten of them right now.”
The ten presidential hopefuls he told to “get the f–k out” were: John Hickenlooper, Michael Bennet, John Delaney, Tim Ryan, Kirsten Gillibrand, Eric Swalwell, Marianne Williamson, Andrew Yang, Beto O’Rourke and Bill de Blasio.

Twenty Democratic candidates for president have now had a chance to say their piece on a debate stage. On Wednesday, Elizabeth Warren and Julian Castro turned in impressive performances from the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami, while Beto O’Rourke, Tim Ryan, and John Delaney didn’t seem to resonate the way they may have hoped. The second half of the field of qualifiers — headlined by frontrunner Joe Biden and the progressive Bernie Sanders — had their chance on Thursday. Here’s who our take on who...

We may still be more than 16 months away from the next United States presidential election, and more than seven months until the first primary election, but the fun is already getting started as Democratic candidates kick off debate season on NBC News’ two-night debate series that will bring out a whopping 20 candidates to talk about the issues.
The first part, on Wednesday night, was perhaps surprisingly eventful, and hopefully the follow-up will match it.
The debate is broken up into two nights because there are so many candidates — each night features ten of them. And with the debates being hosted by NBC News, you can catch the broadcasts on TV on NBC and MSNBC, with a Spanish broadcast on Telemundo.
The first debate was Wednesday night and featured Elizabeth Warren, Corey Booker, Amy Klobuchar, Beto O’Rourke, Julian Castro, Tim Ryan, Bill de Blasio, Jay Inslee, John Delaney and Tulsi Gabbard.

The first Democratic debate for the 2020 U.S. presidential election drew 15.3 million TV viewers across NBC, MSNBC and Telemundo. Another 9 million checked out the live stream.
That’s much lower than the kickoff to the 2016 election cycle, which of course had the Donald Trump factor. However, it did fare better than the debates leading up to the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections.
The first primary debate in August 2015, featuring Trump and nine other top Republican candidates, scored 24 million total viewers on Fox News. CNN’s Democratic version in October landed 15.8 million viewers. Broadcast’s first turn, a Democratic debate in November 2015, drew 8.6 million.

Wednesday’s debate was easily the most-watched program on television of the night. In the key news demo of adults 25-54, the debate averaged 4.3 million viewers across all three networks. Among adults under 50, the number was 3.7 million.

Updated with total viewership numbers: Most of the contenders pulling in big poll numbers take the stage in Miami later today for Night 2 of the Democratic debates on NBC, but Night 1 has set a pretty high bar for Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris and the rest to reach. That bar, however, is well below what both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump drew in the early stages of the 2016 Presidential election.
When NBC, MSNBC and Telemndo are all added up, Nielsen has the showdown last night pulling in 15.3 million viewers.
As we detailed earlier today and now have further confirmed, the total viewing numbers for last night’s warm-up debate of sorts are far behind the audience of 24 million that the first Gop debate pulled in in August 2015 on Fox News. Last night is also down 4.3% from what the five-0person first Democratic debate snagged in October 2015 on CNN.

The first Democratic primary debate, which featured Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Cory Booker and Texas congressman Beto O’Rourke among others, posted solid ratings and total viewership, but was unable to match the prolific numbers of the 2016 cycle’s first round.
Last night’s feisty affair drew a total of 15.3 million viewers across NBC, MSNBC and Telemundo, a significantly lower figure than the 24 million people who tuned in to watch Donald Trump’s first debate on Fox News in August of 2015, but only slightly fewer than the 15.7 million viewers for the equivalent Democratic debate on CNN.
In terms of the breakdown by network, Thursday’s debate was watched by 8.67 million viewers on NBC, 5.87 million on MSNBC, and around 700,000 on Telemundo. Ratings-wise, the debate posted a 2.2 in the 25-54 demographic on NBC, a 1.1 by the same measurement on MSNBC, and a 0.27 on Telemundo.

The 2020 Democratic race for president tipped off in earnest Wednesday night as the first slate of 10 candidates gathered to debate in Miami. The two-hour contest was feisty.
While the evening’s headliner, Elizabeth Warren, held center stage with a heady mix of policy and passion, the contenders to her right and left earned air time by going after each other — often on policies that haven’t gotten much oxygen so far in the 2020 conversation. On more than one occasion (looking at you Tim Ryan) the candidate playing defense got posterized.

The opening night of the first debates of the 2020 Democratic Party primaries brought — even by the standards of such way-far-out confrontations between candidates for whom the election remains a far-off dream — vastly more empty drama than new information. But then, that may have been by design.
NBC News’s organization of the debates, using a “purple” and an “orange” group of two groups, both mixed with top-tier contenders and undercard contenders, resulted in a lopsided staging at which one candidate placed in the middle also became an insurmountable center of gravity. Sen. Elizabeth Warren was effectively the only candidate onstage widely considered a major contender for the presidency, give or take former Rep. Beto O’Rourke or Sen. Cory Booker; the subsequent night would feature Warren’s main rivals, former Vice President Joe Biden, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, and Sens. Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders. Early on, Warren noted that “I...

American voters got their first official introduction to the Democratic Party’s 2020 presidential hopefuls — well, at least some of ’em — in a densely populated debate Wednesday evening.
The inaugural Democratic presidential forum of the 2020 election cycle found 10 contenders for the party’s nomination facing off at Miami’s Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts. For two hours, the candidates — Cory Booker, Julián Castro, Bill de Blasio, John Delaney, Tulsi Gabbard, Jay Inslee, Amy Klobuchar, Beto O’Rourke, Tim Ryan and Elizabeth Warren — fielded questions from NBC’s Savannah Guthrie, Lester Holt and Chuck Todd, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow and Telemundo’s José Diaz-Balart.

The Democratic presidential candidate debate was comedy gold for The Daily Show and Trevor Noah, as the long lineup of hopefuls provided enough memorable moments to fill a ballot. Or, in this case, a program, via Noah’s Votegasm 2020, a live show that followed the Democratic scrum.
The Daily Show kicked off the live laughs seconds after the debate with a show festooned with the graphic, “World War D: Let’s Get Ready to Ramble: Part 1.”
Host Trevor Noah got off several quality shots at more than half the field, beginning with Beto O’Rourke, who answered a question about health care in fluent Spanish. “‘To hear my answer in English, press one,'” Noah riffed. “This guy was so fluent, people probably thought they had switched to Univision by mistake.” A reaction photo of a wide-eyed Corey Booker watching the conquistador to his left accentuated the bit.

A week ago, every 2020 candidate filed their first-quarter financial reports with the Federal Election Commission. The reports track every dollar a candidate raised and spent, offering the first inside glimpse of the election and how the candidates are stacking up. President Trump, who held his first 2020 campaign rally less than a month after he was inaugurated, has the largest war chest of anyone in the field. But the candidate with the highest percentage of small-dollar donors — a key indicator of broad-based public support — is Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, followed closely...
