		</div><p>Ten presidential candidates, led by Senator Elizabeth Warren, will converge on the stage on the first night of Democratic debates to offer their pitches to voters and attempt a defining moment for their campaigns.</p>
<p>For many of the White House hopefuls, it will be the highest-profile opportunity yet to offer their vision for the country and, if for just two hours, chip into a political news cycle often dominated by President Donald Trump.</p>
<p>Given the massive field, the debate will be split over two nights, with 10 other candidates, including former vice president Joe Biden and Vermont senator Bernie Sanders, appearing on Thursday.</p>

<p>But on Wednesday’s opening night, Ms Warren will take centre stage.</p>
<p>The Massachusetts senator’s constant stream of policy proposals has helped her campaign gain ground.</p>
<p>Strategists say that Ms Warren, widely viewed as a talented debater, is well positioned to showcase her strengths.</p>
<p><em>“I don’t think anyone else on that night has her level of skill and her level of experience in this format,”</em> said Maria Cardona, a Democratic strategist.</p>
<p><em>“I think she should look at this as an opportunity to really shine and come out of the first night as the one that is dominating the conversation.”</em></p>
<p>Yet Ms Warren could still face challenges.</p>
<p>The other candidates on stage Wednesday are not as well known and could use the moment to take aggressive stances against Ms Warren in an effort to make an impression.</p>

<p><em>“She’s liable to have a target on her back and a lot of people potentially coming after her on that stage,”</em> said Charles Chamberlain, the chairman of the progressive political action committee Democracy for America.</p>

<p>Asked whether she felt the pressure of effectively being the front-runner during the first debate, Ms Warren shrugged off her centre-stage position.</p>
<p><em>“This is just a chance to be able to talk to people all across this country about how this government works better and better and better for a thinner and thinner slice at the top, and it’s just not working for the rest of America,&#8221;</em> she told reporters after her Tuesday rally in Miami.</p>
<p><em>“2020’s our chance to change that.”</em></p>

<p>Mr Delaney has been especially vocal in his criticism.</p>
<p>With so many White House hopefuls on stage, it could be difficult to dive too deep on any given issue.</p>
<p>NBC News, which is hosting the debate, said candidates will have 60 seconds to answer questions and 30 seconds for follow-ups.</p>
<p>They will be allowed closing statements but no openers.</p>
<p>All the candidates are competing ahead of a major fundraising deadline that will have lasting implications.</p>
<p>The end of the second fundraising quarter on Sunday gives candidates a chance to make a splash with strong numbers ahead of the mid-July deadline to report that information to the Federal Election Commission.</p>
<p>A strong debate performance could fuel more donations, which is critical to the candidates’ ability to participate in future debates.</p>

<p>The Democratic National Committee is enforcing more stringent requirements for participating in the presidential primary debates this autumn, so candidates who are struggling to gain a foothold may not have another similar opportunity on a nationally televised stage unless they are able to significantly boost their standing in the polls and fundraising numbers.</p>
<p><em>“For some of them, this might be their best opportunity to land a blow,”</em> said Joel Payne, a Democratic strategist.</p>
<p>The debate will unfold as many Democratic voters are just beginning to tune in.</p>

<p>Only 35% of registered Democrats say they are paying close attention to the campaign, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.</p>
<p>Two-thirds say they are paying some or no attention.</p>
<p><em>“People may have heard (the candidates’) names, but they couldn’t pick them out and don’t know much about them,”</em> said Jesse Ferguson, a veteran Democratic strategist.</p>
<p><em>“None of them are going to seal the deal in the first debate, but they need to get people interested enough to want to learn more.”</em></p>
<p>The debate’s second night on Thursday features more of the leading Democrats in the race.</p>

<p>Mr Biden will stand at centre stage with Mr Sanders at his left and Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, at his right.</p>
<p>The former vice president has come under fire from fellow Democrats after recently recalling that the Senate was once a more civil place, pointing to his work with two segregationist former senators.</p>
<p>Several of the candidates went to Florida early to raise money or court voters in the critical battleground state.</p>
<p>Mr Buttigieg held two Florida fundraisers on Monday night and stayed in Florida for debate preparation.</p>
<p>Ms Warren, meanwhile, was in the state on Tuesday to campaign for her new proposal to boost election security.</p>
<p>Not to be outdone, Vice President Mike Pence was also in Miami on Tuesday to launch Latinos For Trump as part of an effort to engage Latino voters for 2020.</p>
<p>The Trump campaign said it was running ads in Wednesday’s Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald touting the president’s achievements on behalf of Latinos.</p>
