A record field of Democrats is competing to become the party's nominee in 2020.
Both debates were broadcast live by NBC-TV, Telemundo and MSNBC. Ten candidates appeared on two consecutive nights.
Former Vice President Joe Biden squared off against Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and seven other Democrats on Thursday night, June 27. Their exchanges got heated at times, especially when discussion shifted to private health insurance versus "Medicare for all."
Here was the lineup for the second debate:
- Michael Bennet, Colorado senator
- Joe Biden, former vice president
- Pete Buttigieg, mayor of South Bend, IN
- Kirsten Gillibrand, New York senator
- Kamala Harris, California senator

- Marianne Williamson, self-help author
- Andrew Yang, former tech executive
