DemDaily: Tonight’s Debate Details!
February 25, 2020
Tonight's Tenth Democratic Presidential Primary Debate in Charleston, South Carolina comes just four days ahead of the Palmetto State's February 29th primary contest.
It is a critical night for all seven candidates on stage, and possibly the last chance for some, to attempt to slow the surge of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, now clearly the frontrunner.
