Democrats are holding their 1st primary debate in Georgia since 1992. A lot has changed since then.
The Democratic National Committee has Georgia on its mind.Wednesday night’s Democratic debate will be held in Atlanta, and this is the first time the DNC has chosen Georgia for a primary debate in 27 years, The Guardian reports. While the state has been reliably red for the last 20 years, the party is optimistic about turning it purple, thanks to more Democrat-friendly voters moving to and becoming eligible to vote in Georgia and candidates like Stacey Abrams, the former Democratic leader of the state House.Abrams ran for governor last year, narrowly losing to Republican Brian Kemp. She received 1.9 million votes, the highest number of ballots cast for a Democrat in Georgia history, The Guardian reports. Abrams believes Georgia should be considered a swing state, and is working to mobilize voters and tackle voter suppression. Abrams is at the debate, and spoke to the crowd to get them energized before the candidates take the stage.More stories from theweek.com Ken Starr on the Sondland testimony: ‘It’s over’ Putin says the Ukraine scandal has distracted the U.S. from Russian election meddling: ‘Thank God’ Impeachment witness says Ukraine knew its security aid was held up on July 25 — the day of the Trump–Zelensky call

How to watch the November Democratic debate
Democratic presidential contenders will face off for the fifth time on Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET in a debate co-hosted by MSNBC and The Washington Post. The primary debate will feature 10 candidates fielding questions from four woman moderators and comes just 100 days before the first primary contest in Iowa.Wednesday night’s stage will feature former Vice President Joe Biden; Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.); South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg; Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii); Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.); Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.); Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.); billionaire Tom Steyer; Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.); and entrepreneur Andrew Yang. That’s the same lineup as October minus former Rep. Beto O’Rourke, who has since dropped out of the race, and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, who failed to qualify.Expect Buttigieg to be a major focus in this debate, as he’s surprisingly risen to the top of recent primary polls in Iowa but failed to replicate that performance among black voters in the early primary state of South Carolina. Meanwhile, Biden’s post-debate email mistakenly sent earlier in the day suggests he’ll be focusing his attacks on Warren.You can find the debate on both MSNBC’s and the Post’s websites starting at 9 p.m. ET.More stories from theweek.com Ken Starr on the Sondland testimony: ‘It’s over’ Putin says the Ukraine scandal has distracted the U.S. from Russian election meddling: ‘Thank God’ Impeachment witness says Ukraine knew its security aid was held up on July 25 — the day of the Trump–Zelensky call

Sondland makes post-hearing flight, sighs after putting bag in wrong spot: ‘My whole day has been like this’
When his testimony before the House Intelligence Committee started to run long, U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland was worried he might miss his Wednesday night flight to Brussels, but he made it to the airport with enough time to get on the plane, put his luggage in the wrong place, and then make a wry observation about his life.Fellow passenger Karen-Marie Hyland told CNN she watched as Sondland, who only hours earlier gave bombshell testimony implicating President Trump in a quid pro quo with Ukraine, put his carry-on bag in the wrong overhead compartment. Realizing his mistake, Sondland said, “My whole day has been like this.”Hyland also snapped a picture of the incident, since the public now knows if you deal with any member of the Trump administration, you need to make sure you have receipts.
