The second round of the Democratic debates continues Wednesday night at the Fox Theatre in Detroit, Michigan. If the first night was any indication, the ten candidates on stage this evening will likely spar over topics as varied health care, climate change, income inequality, and how well one can throw their hands up in the air.
Wednesday's debate will also see a rematch between former Vice President Joe Biden and California Sen. Kamala Harris. Joining them on stage will be New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julián Castro, and entrepreneur Andrew Yang.
