The second of two Democratic presidential debates starts at 9 p.m. ET. It will be broadcast on NBC News, MSNBC and Telemundo and live-streamed via NBCNews.com.

The debate features most of the top poll leaders in the race: Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg and Kamala Harris.

Other participants — who are barely registering in the polls — include Kirsten Gillibrand, Michael Bennet, John Hickenlooper, Eric Swalwell, Andrew Yang and Marianne Williamson.

“More than 15 million viewers tuned in for part one of the 2020 presidential election’s first primary debate on television Wednesday night,” CNN reports.

“The Nielsen ratings reflect enormous interest in the presidential race — with millions of people tuning into NBC, MSNBC and Telemundo to size up the candidates who want to beat President Trump next year.”

“And these ratings don’t even include streaming viewership on YouTube, Twitter and other sites.”

Robert Jones: “Amid all the ongoing changes in the country that generally favor Democrats, is it still possible that President Donald Trump will be reelected in 2020? Because I study religious and demographic change, I hear this question a lot. Much of the early punditry on Trump’s reelection prospects has focused on complex Electoral College scenarios—insights that, while valuable, shed little light on the bigger picture.”

“I’ve come to answer the question this way: Yes, it is possible Trump gets reelected. While Democrats have the long-term demographic winds at their back, Republicans have a time machine: a consistent skew in ethnic and religious voter-turnout patterns that, in national elections, has the effect of turning back the demographic clock eight or more years.”

Washington Post: “Only a handful of the stats were stretched past the breaking point. Instead, most ranged from mostly or partly true.”
