DNC & CHC BOLD Announce 11th Democratic Presidential Primary Debate will be Hosted by CNN & Univision

The 11th Democratic debate will take place in Phoenix on Sunday March 15
The DNC, in partnership with CHC BOLD, announced today that the eleventh Democratic debate will take place in Phoenix, Arizona on Sunday, March 15, and will be co-hosted by CNN and Univision. Venue, format, moderators and qualification criteria will be announced at a future date.
The debate will air live on CNN and Univision. The debate will also be live streamed across CNN and Univision’s digital and social platforms. Our broadcast partners are fully committed to providing accessible communications for deaf and disabled audiences as well.
CHC BOLD is the political arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and is dedicated to increasing the diversity of our leadership in the House and Senate.
“I personally want to thank Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, Senator Kyrsten Sinema, Members of Congress Ruben Gallego and Greg Stanton, and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus for their assistance throughout the selection process,” said DNC Chair Tom Perez.
“Arizonans can’t ask for better local and national advocates.
Arizona is a battleground state and it’s clear Democrats can win here at every level of the ballot. After historic Democratic victories in 2018, we’re putting the Republicans on defense in the Grand Canyon State. This debate will showcase our Democratic presidential candidates, highlight Trump’s record of broken promises and make it clear that Democrats are fighting to give Arizonans a better future.”

Phoenix Will Host a Democratic Presidential Debate in March
" . . . Though Arizona has voted Republican in every presidential election but one since 1952, its rapid growth and increasingly diverse voter population in recent years has galvanized Democrats to try to swing the state blue in 2020.
The Democratic National Committee has identified Arizona as one of eight "battleground" states for 2020, and announced plans to focus aggressive efforts in Maricopa County.
> The 11th debate will be the first after the early nominating states and Super Tuesday
> It will come at roughly the halfway point in the Democratic nomination process:
- 24 states and two territories will have voted before the Arizona debate.
- Two days after the debate, Democrats in Florida, Illinois and Ohio will join Arizona in going to the polls, marking another consequential election day

The Democratic National Committee has identified Arizona as one of eight "battleground" states for 2020, and announced plans to focus aggressive efforts in Maricopa County.
Matt Grodsky, a spokesman for the Arizona Democratic Party, said he's "thrilled" the debate will bring the Democratic candidates to Arizona days before the state's registered Democrats cast their votes in the presidential preference election.
"We believe it reaffirms our battleground state status," Grodsky said.
The qualification requirements for the debate and the debate format have yet to be announced."
