Biden, Sanders, Harris Among 2nd Group of Democratic Hopefuls Set for Miami
Debate

Ken Bredemeier

   Another 10 Democratic U.S. presidential contenders will debate Thursday
   night, including a larger number of leading candidates, following a
   spirited Wednesday night debate in the first major event of the 2020
   election campaign.

   Thursday's participants include former Vice President Joe Biden and
   other top-tier possible choices, including Senators Bernie Sanders of
   Vermont and Kamala Harris of California; Mayor Pete Buttigieg of the
   Midwestern city of South Bend, Indiana; along with six others.

   All twenty Democratic presidential hopefuls hope to oust Republican
   President Donald Trump after a single term in the White House.

   The immediate focus Wednesday was on Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a
   progressive lawmaker from the northeastern state of Massachusetts who
   national surveys show has edged closer to Biden as a Democratic
   favorite to oppose Trump in the election set for Nov. 3, 2020.
