First Democratic presidential debate set for October 13 in Nevada

Announcing the Democrats’ debate calendar on the day the first Republican primary debate takes place, the Democratic National Committee also set five other Democratic contests in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Florida and Wisconsin.

“These six debates… will highlight the clear contrast between the values of the Democratic Party which is focused on strengthening the middle class versus Republicans who want to pursue out of touch and out of date policies,” DNC Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz said in a statement.
