The debate stage here in Charleston, SC.

One novelty compared to last week in Las Vegas: @TomSteyer has qualified and will on the far-right side of the stage.

Guest seats have been allotted. Influential South Carolina congressman Jim Clyburn will be here. Chairman @TomPerez will be sitting between Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton.

Another look at tonight’s debate stage at the Gaillard Center in Charleston.

Here’s the lineup for the debate, from left to right. @BernieSanders is at the center, flanked by @ewarren and @JoeBiden.

Just like last week’s debate in Las Vegas, this one in Charleston is also happening right across the street from a mass shooting. A white supremacist killed nine churchgoers here in June 2015.

Two debates in a row across the street from past mass shootings. The subject was largely missing from the Las Vegas debate last week. Will it come up here in Charleston?

One hour to go until tonight’s #DemDebate here in #Charleston, SC gets started.

Some interesting changes in the line-up for tonight's debate here in Charleston. Unlike last time around, @ewarren will not be right next to @MikeBloomberg. If their fight is to be continued it will have to be over @PeteButtigieg's head.

@ewarren @MikeBloomberg @PeteButtigieg And @PeteButtigieg and @amyklobuchar are no longer neighbours. Three candidates separate them.

@ewarren @MikeBloomberg @PeteButtigieg Every candidate who has spoken so far has attacked or at least criticized Bernie Sanders.

An extended Warren v. Bloomberg fight is, much like last week, good news for Bernie Sanders.

The Trump campaign calls the Democratic debate “chaotic”.
