Ten Democrats line up in second presidential TV debate

Ten Democratic presidential hopefuls have taken the stage again for the second TV debate of the race to win the White House in 2020.

Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, the most progressive candidates in the crowded field, will debate each other for the first time in Michigan.

The group of candidates will field questions on race, immigration, healthcare and more.

Ten more Democrats, including Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, will spar tomorrow.
