LOS ANGELES — Thursday’s Democratic presidential debate in Texas will be the first of the 2020 campaign with all of the party’s major candidates on the same stage at the same time.

The 10-candidate debate sanctioned by the Democratic National Committee will begin at 5 p.m. Pacific time (8 p.m. Eastern) and be televised by ABC and on Univision with a Spanish translation.

The debate will air in the Los Angeles market on ABC’s Channel 7 and Univision’s Channel 34.

A live stream of the debate will be available at https://abcnews.go.com/Live.

ABC is also streaming the debate on this YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UWVO0Trd1c as well as its iOS and Android apps.

The campaign’s previous two debates were both split into two nights because 20 candidates qualified under rules set by the DNC with draws determining what nights candidates would debate.

Higher qualifying thresholds — candidates needed to either register 2% support in at least four qualified polls and have 130,000 unique donors to their campaign, including a minimum of 400 donors in at least 20 states, to qualify for the debate — meant only 10 candidates qualified and only one debate would be held.

If at least 11 candidates had qualified, the debate would have been split over two nights.

Candidates qualified for the first two sets of debates by registering 1% support in three qualified polls or having 65,000 unique donors to their campaign, including a minimum of 200 donors in at least 20 states.

The candidates’ positions on the stage at Texas Southern University’s Health & PE Center in Houston was determined by the averages of the last 10 polls certified for qualification by the DNC with the highest polling candidates near the center.

Standing from left to right will be Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar; New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker; South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg; Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders; former Vice President Joe Biden; Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren; California Sen. Kamala Harris; entrepreneur Andrew Yang; former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke; and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro.

ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos, “World News Tonight” anchor and managing editor David Muir, ABC News correspondent Linsey Davis and Univision anchor Jorge Ramos will be the moderators.

To former political strategist Robert M. Shrum, the keys to this debate include whether “second-tier” candidates like Booker and O’Rourke can “make a big impression” to create momentum.

Other keys include how well Biden does, whether Warren engages Sanders and if Harris can explain “what does she wants to do in the presidency,” Shrum, now the director of the USC Dornsife Center for the Political Future, told City News Service.

Said Samantha Zager of President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign, “Thursday night, Americans around the country will watch as the 2020 Democrat field proposes socialist policies that would only serve to harm our nation.

“Whether they are promoting government-run healthcare, open borders, or the elimination of fossil fuels, we can count on Democrats to promote a big government agenda that is out of touch with American values. Meanwhile, the economy is booming and President Trump’s pro-growth agenda has helped Americans across the country.”

So who didn’t qualify for Thursday’s debate? These candidates: Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado; Montana Gov. Steve Bullock; New York Mayor Bill de Blasio; Former Maryland Rep. John Delaney; Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard; Miramar, Florida, Mayor Wayne Messam; Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan; Former Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Sestak of Pennsylvania; California investor and activist Tom Steyer; and California author and spiritual adviser Marianne Williamson.
