ATLANTA - Democratic White House contender Pete Buttigieg, who has climbed into the lead in recent polls in Iowa, will get his turn in the spotlight on Wednesday when 10 of the top candidates for the party’s presidential nomination meet in a debate in Atlanta.
The field of debaters has been trimmed from the 12 candidates in last month’s Democratic debate. Former U.S. Representative Beto O’Rourke of Texas dropped out of the race and former U.S. Housing Secretary Julian Castro was cut from the stage by the Democratic National Committee’s toughened qualifying criteria.
“This is going to be Buttigieg’s turn in the spotlight, and he had better be prepared for the worst,” said Aaron Kall, director of debate at the University of Michigan. “Biden and Warren have been hurt in the past debates by not being ready for the attacks.” Speaking to reporters prior to the debate, Biden senior campaign aides argued that Biden’s 40 years in public office and his solid support from African-American and other voters of color made for a sharp contrast with Buttigieg. They did not expect, however, Biden to make that point explicitly with regard to Buttigieg on the debate stage.
