“These six debates will not only give caucus-goers and primary voters ample opportunity to hear from our candidates about their vision for our country’s future, they will highlight the clear contrast between the values of the Democratic Party, which is focused on strengthening the middle class, versus Republicans, who want to pursue out-of-touch and out-of-date policies,” Democratic Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said.

The Republican Party had its first debate in August and another in September. The next is scheduled for Oct. 28, and the GOP candidates will debate Dec. 15 in Las Vegas.

In advance of all the upcoming debates, our cartoonist Mike Smith shares his take on some of the candidates.
