Biden and Harris set for debate rematch

- By BILL BARROW

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will get a debate rematch in the second round of Democratic presidenti­al primary debates, while Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren will share a stage to argue their progressiv­e visions.

CNN randomly assigned 20 candidates to the two stages in a drawing that was broadcast live on Thursday night. The debates are being held over two nights, 30-31 July, in Detroit.

Former vice president Biden and California Senator Harris will face off less than a month after Harris used the first debates ahead of the 2020 presidenti­al election to propel herself into the top tier of candidates with an aggressive take-down of 76-yearold Biden’s long record on race.

Sanders and Warren will appear on the first night of the debate programme along with Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar, former Texas representa­tive Beto O’rourke, South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Montana Governor Steve Bullock.
