We’re POLITICO journalists and we’re co-hosting next week’s Democratic presidential debate. Ask us anything about the 2020 race.

Posted: 11 Dec 2019 08:03 AM PST

We're co-hosting the PBS NewsHour/POLITICO Debate next Thursday, Dec. 19 – just weeks before the Iowa caucuses, the first time voters will have their say in the 2020 campaign. So far, seven candidates have qualified to be onstage, according to our tracking of public polling and donor information:

Joe Biden
Pete Buttigieg
Amy Klobuchar
Bernie Sanders
Tom Steyer
Elizabeth Warren
Andrew Yang

Tulsi Gabbard is still in the mix to qualify, but her qualification deadline is tomorrow, Dec. 12. (No candidate's qualification is official until it is confirmed by the DNC after the deadline.)

Ask us anything about the 2020 race. Our line-up:

Carrie Budoff Brown is the editor of POLITICO. She oversees our 225-person newsroom, all of whom either report to her or report to someone who eventually reports up to her. Basically, she's the big boss, and we're excited she's able to join us for her first AMA.

Tim Alberta will be one of the moderators on next week's debate stage. He's our chief political correspondent and is widely recognized as one of the most skilled political reporters of his generation. Tim covers a range of topics, including: the Trump presidency, Capitol Hill, the ideological warfare between and within the two parties, demographic change in America, and the evolving role of money in elections. He's the author of NYT bestseller "American Carnage," which explores the making of the modern Republican Party (he hosted an AMA here on his book a few months ago).

Laura Barrón-López is a national political reporter for us, covering the 2020 presidential race. Having covered Congress for nearly eight years, Laura covers candidates relationships with lawmakers, demographic changes across the country in battleground states, and centers much of her reporting on race and ethnicity in the 2020 presidential cycle. She often appears on CNN as a political analyst.

Zach Montellaro is a campaign reporter who writes our daily Morning Score election newsletter and covers everything from campaign finance, polling and the stuff you care about — debate qualifications. He runs POLITICO's debate qualification tracker (along with campaign editor Steve Shepard) and has written one too many stories about the debate stage. He will not answer any questions about the movie Rampart.

Michael Calderone is our senior media reporter. He zeroes in on the intersection of media and politics (and watches way too much cable news) and has been keeping a close eye on how moderators from different media orgs have been handling the recent debates. Recently, he's written on The Hill's controversial Ukraine columns at the center of the impeachment fight, along with the boom of podcasts keeping listeners up to speed on the hearings and developments. He's also reported lately how the New York Times is overhauling its 2020 endorsement process - complete with big TV reveal - and the challenges Bloomberg News faces covering owner and Democratic candidate Michael Bloomberg.

( Proof. )

P.S. There's still some time to submit a question for us to ask on the debate stage. We're closing this form at the end of this week.

Edit: Thanks for the questions, all. We're signing off but if you're thinking of watching the debate next Thursday, we'll be streaming it live on our site + social channels (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube).
