I have a few questions for NBC and MSNBC:

I assume that means today, Saturday, December 14th.

If it is today, why is it that the words "December 14th" appear nowhere in the graphic that they made, and why have I seen no mention of this anywhere online or on MSNBC? It seems to be like MSNBC public relations may be falling down on the job. Were they trying to keep this program a secret?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Pittsburgh will play host Saturday to a nationally televised event spotlighting where eight Democratic presidential candidates stand on a variety of hot-button education issues.

National Education Association President Lily Eskelsen García, who was an elementary school teacher, said she and fellow educators couldn’t be more excited about the chance to delve into the challenges confronting public schools and grill candidates for their solutions on a national stage. MSBNC will moderate the forum, broadcast portions on TV and livestream the full event online.

The event takes place at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Downtown Pittsburgh. The confirmed candidates are former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Tom Steyer, Sen. Cory Booker and Sen. Michael Bennet.

“Teachers all around the country are doing the happy dance right now,” García said by phone Friday afternoon as she prepared to board a plane from Washington. “The fact that they are spending a full day in Pittsburgh talking about education is huge.”
