What to expect

The first debates of the Democrats are a turning point in the election campaign, said Kyle Kondik, an analyst at the University of Virginia.

“The debates have become sort of the main events leading up to the primary season because you see all these candidates coming from all over the country to states that are key to the primaries,” he explained.

Candidates will have to try to make a quick impression on voters within a few minutes of the airtime they receive during the debates.

“Four, five or six candidates will find the right tone, choose the right angle of attack at each other or President Trump to get into the news releases,” said Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia. - It is they who, in potential, will benefit from the debate. The rest may lose ground or even lose donors. ”

According to the expert from Emory University, Andra Gillespie, when ten candidates appear on the stage, each of them will hope to wait for his “breakthrough” moment.

“We will look for candidates who will exceed expectations, or candidates whose speeches will go viral and lead people to disruption,” Gillespie said.

“These may be candidates from a group of leaders who can retain the status of favorites, or someone from the middle of the list — debates can help them break through and attract additional attention,” she explained.

Warren will be the lead candidate for the debate on Wednesday, and Biden, Sanders, Buttidzic and Harris will take the stage on Thursday.
