Here’s what you need to know about the third Democratic presidential primary debate in Houston – CNBC

Multiple candidates still seek a breakout moment as they try to cut into the support enjoyed by the top three polling contenders. Biden, Sanders and Warren each have more than 16% of support in the latest national RealClearPolitics survey average — no other candidate gets more than 6.5%.

Notably, Biden and Warren will share the stage for the first time in the 2020 debate cycle on Thursday night. Warren has called for dramatic restructuring to make the economy more fair, while Biden has pushed for more incremental change to build on former President Barack Obama’s policies.

As they have in the previous two debates, business issues will play a major role Thursday night. Topics will likely include how to restructure the health-care industry, overhaul the economy to address climate change and navigate trade policy amid President Donald Trump’s escalating trade war with China.
