CNN is paying a licensing fee to “PBS Newshour” and its producing station, WETA of Arlington, for its share of the broadcast.
PBS NewsHour anchors Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff are tasked to moderate the PBS-sponsored Democratic debate.
That PBS linear audience was double the channel’s season-to-date primetime average in total viewers. Moreover, the event can be seen on CNN International and CNN en Espanol. We are excited to partner with Facebook at this moment and have the opportunity to incorporate new ways to harness those real-time social media conversations into the debate experience as Americans are making decisions about who they want to lead the country.
On October 9, 2002, then-Republican candidate Mitt Romney debated four women in a governor’s debate: Democratic candidate Shannon O’Brien, independent candidate Barbara Johnson, Green Party candidate Jill Stein, and Libertarian Carla Howell. For lower level, it is expected to accommodate about 580 people.
The debate comes just two days after Sanders defeated Clinton by a wide margin in New Hampshire, and renewed interest in the self-described Democratic-Socialist is providing a bump of momentum heading into the Nevada Caucuses on February 20. Political analysts said this win over Hillary Clinton will send shockwaves through her campaign and give the Vermont senator an edge as he heads to tougher states in the next weeks to come.
Political insiders expect both candidates to be a bit more aggressive, as Sanders tries to build on his momentum while Clinton tries to recover from a decisive defeat in the New Hampshire primary Tuesday.
