The next Democratic debate, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, will be a more intimate affair with former Vice President Joe Biden and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders the only two on the stage and no one in the audience.
The two will meet in Washington D.C. for the debate which will be held 48 hours before delegate-rich primaries in Florida, Illinois, Ohio and Arizona are to take place.
The Democratic National Committee announced Thursday, that to prevent the possible spread of COVID-19, it will hold the debate in Washington, D.C., with no live audience, instead of its original planned location of Arizona.
The debate comes nearly two weeks after Biden turned his fortunes around by sweeping 10 of the 14 states holding primaries on Super Tuesday and scored big wins in last Tuesday’s debate.
