(CNN)The first debates are coming.
In just over a month -- on June 26 and 27 in Miami, to be exact -- the 2020 Democratic presidential race will begin in earnest with as many as 20 candidates debating over two nights.
Until then, the race to be the Democratic nominee against President Donald Trump remains in a bit of a holding pattern. Candidates who have yet to qualify for the debate are doing everything they can -- raising money, mostly -- to ensure they don't get left off the stage on one of the two nights. Those who are comfortably in are working to keep from making any mistake(s) that would hurt their momentum going into Miami next month.
