The 6th Democratic Debate will feature Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, Andrew Yang, Amy Klobuchar, and Tom Steyer. The debate will be held on December 19th at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, hosted by PBS NewsHour and Politico, and will air on politico.com, PBS.com and CNN.com. While this will be the last debate of 2019, monthly debates are planned to continue through February, when they will occur more frequently until April of 2020.

With just 7 candidates participating, the December debate will have the fewest people on stage yet, a welcome change for many viewers. Part of the reason for this is the withdrawal of Kamala Harris from the primary race, who would have made the stage.

Higher standards for this debate also contributed: preventing Booker, Castro, Bloomberg, Williamson, Bennet, Delaney and Patrick from participating. In order to be invited, candidates needed to receive donations from at least 200,000 unique donors, with at least 800 in 20 states, territories or DC. The would also be required to meet a polling threshold of at least 6 percent in two or more DNC-approved polls conducted in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, or South Carolina; or at least four percent in four or more DNC-approved polls in early nominating states, or nationwide.

Tulsi Gabbard was on the cusp of qualifying for the debate—just one poll away—when she tweeted on December 9th that she would not attend.

In this video I'll talk about each of the participating candidates, and some of the events unfolding around the primary race, to hopefully give you some sense of an answer to the question...

What's going to happen?
