Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Five 2020 candidates will appear at youth-oriented town hall event
PoliticoFive presidential candidates will take questions from college students during back-to-back televised town halls on April 22. Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg will take turns on stage for the youth-focused event in Manchester, N.H., which will air on CNN.
The Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics and the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm's College will co-host the five-hour event, which spans from 7 p.m. to midnight.
Because Democratic National Committee rules bar candidates from appearing on stage together before the first official debates this summer, candidates will alternate on stage. The town halls will be moderatedP by CNN anchors Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo, with 500 young voters in the audience.
According to Harvard, millennial and generation Z voters will make up more than a third of the electorate by November 2020. Additionally, turnout among voters ages 18-29 increased in at least 34 states during the 2018 midterm, according to a Tufts University study.

I wish it were a real debate, though.

For that reason I think I will pass.

(7,277 posts)5. Can not understand why Beto won't be there.
Amy Klobuchar is a good candidate but shes not front tier. Inexplicable. Could Beto have declined an invitation?

(2,113 posts)6. I don't know, but I sense he is being minimized and it's irking me
For instance, he only had 18 days and his numbers are actually better than BS on first day amount AND daily amounts when you look at total for the quarter divided by number of days he had to raise money. It's over 522,000 daily amounts. He has that same hopeful and unifying charisma that Obama had, too. Then all the "he is just platitudes" nonsense when he has very specific ideas he talks about. It's like there is a concerted effort to lampoon him and it's infuriating.
