- Mike Bloomberg, former mayor of New York City
- Pete Buttigieg, former mayor of South Bend, Indiana
- Amy Klobuchar, Minnesota senator
- Bernie Sanders, Vermont senator
- Tom Steyer, businessman
- Elizabeth Warren, Massachusetts senator
The debate is being co-hosted by CBS News and the Congressional Black Caucus Institute. The debate is taking place in Charleston, South Carolina.
Moderators for the debate include Norah O'Donnell, Gayle King, Margaret Brennan, Major Garrett, and Bill Whitaker.
Candidates qualified if they met a polling threshold or obtained at least one pledged delegate in a caucus or primary.
After this, the next debate will be on March 15. This debate will be hosted by CNN and Univision and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. The debate will be after Super Tuesday and just before the Arizona primary. The debate will take place in Phoenix, The EA Courier reported.
After that, there will be at least one more debate in April 2020.
