CNN announced Friday it will host a debate next week for the candidates running for chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

The event in Atlanta is being called "Debate Night: Democratic Leadership Debate" and is scheduled for Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET, just days before Democratic officials vote on a new chairman at the DNC's meeting in the same city Feb. 23-26.

"CNN chief political correspondent Dana Bash and New Day anchor Chris Cuomo will moderate the primetime event live from the CNN Center in Atlanta, Georgia just days before the Democratic Party chooses a new national leader," the network said in a press release. "The candidates will debate their visions and strategies for the 2018 midterm elections, how to rebuild the Democratic Party and the role of the DNC under the Trump administration."

Since mid-January, the DNC candidates have already taken part in four "DNC Future Forums," the last of which was last weekend.

As of Feb. 8, the DNC listed 10 contenders vying for the chair position.The front-runners are Rep. Keith Ellison and former Labor Secretary Tom Perez.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned as DNC chair in July just before the Democratic National Convention, amid the WikiLeaks email controversy that showed Schultz and other Democratic officials scheming to tip the scales in Hillary Clinton's favor in the Democratic presidential primaries. Longtime party official Donna Brazile has been serving as acting chairman ever since.
