Dem Debate: Day 1

Published: July 31, 2019, 12:33 p.m.

The first group of Democrats took the stage at the Fox Theater in Detroit Tuesday night and spent much of the 2+ hours trying to convince the American people that they would make the best choice for President in 2020. These debates will be a last chance for some of the candidates to be considered as serious contenders. The stakes are high: to qualify for the third set of debates in September, candidates must raise money from more donors and hit higher polling thresholds \u2014 a bar more than half of the contenders are at risk of missing. Did any of last night\u2019s 10 manage to move the needle on their respective poll numbers? ABC's Aaron Katersky is in the motor city and joins Tony.
