In just under an hour, candidates will take the DemDebate stage in New Hampshire. Here's everything you need to know:
The field of Democrats vying to be the party’s nominee in 2020 remains crowded. Here are the candidates competing to face President Trump.this time around, candidates needed to poll 5% in four national or state polls, or 7% in two single-state polls.
