How to watch the 2020 Democratic debate, even if you don't have CNN


Let the debates begin (again)! The second round of Democratic debates kicks off Tuesday night at the Fox Theatre in Detroit, Michigan. As with the first round of debates last month, July's debate will be split into two nights across Tuesday and Wednesday this week.
Sharing the stage for the Tuesday half is author Marianne Williamson; Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan; Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar; South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg; Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders; Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren; former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke, former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, former Maryland Rep. John Delaney, and Montana Gov. Steve Bullock.
The debate can be watched by cable and satellite TV subscribers on CNN. It can also be streamed on the CNN homepage here even without a CNN subscription, or watched with the CNNgo app on a mobile device or an Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire, or other smart TV device. CBSN is also airing and streaming the debate.
