ABC NEWS: THE NEW HAMPSHIRE DEBATE
ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET
Live from Manchester, NH, tonight’s three-hour prime-time debate is televised by ABC, and presents on stage seven candidates – quite a change from the original 20. Several candidates still vying for delegates and consideration are excluded by the debate’s rules, but here are the “magnificent” seven, as seen from left to right from the audience’s point of view: Andrew Yang, Pete Buttigieg, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, and Tom Steyer. Based on the finally delivered results from the Iowa caucus, the Buttigieg and Biden podium placements should have been reversed – but with the New Hampshire primary only four days away, and with all the historic events of this week, this debate almost has to be a lively one. And maybe, just maybe, a crucially influential one.
