The fourth-ever Democratic presidential primary debate will take place next month in Westerville, Ohio, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) announced Friday as candidates fought to qualify for the television showdown.
The debate – it will be the fourth round of this year – will be hosted by the New York Times and CNN at Otterbein University, the party said in a press release. The debate is scheduled for October 15th. (If enough candidates qualify to divide them into two evenings, the second will be October 16th.)

The announcement came one day after 10 candidates quarreled in the ABC News debate in Houston on Thursday night.
Moderators for the October debate will be Marc Lacey of the Times, Anderson Cooper and CNN, and Erin Burnett. This will be the second democratic debate of the cable channel this cycle: CNN organized the party debate in July in Detroit. The New York Times announced that it would act as the first debate on the presidential campaign of the newspaper for more than ten years.
According to the DNC, to qualify for the debate, candidates must reach a voting threshold of 2% in at least four eligible ballots. they must also have a minimum of 130,000 unique donors and 400 unique donors per state in at least 20 US states.

They are: former Vice President Joe Biden, Senator from New Jersey, Cory Booker, South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Former Housing Secretary Julian Castro, Senator from Kamala, California Harris, Minnesota Senator, Amy Klobuchar, former Texas Representative, Beto O 'Rourke, Vermont Senator, Bernie Sanders, Environmental Billionaire Tom Steyer, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, and the Contractor Andrew Yang.

Other unqualified candidates are: Colorado Senator Michael Bennet, Montana Governor Steve Bullock, New York Mayor Bill of Blasio, former Maryland Representative John Delaney, and representative of Ohio, Tim Ryan.
