CNN announced on Tuesday it will hold a live, seven-hour “climate crisis” town hall featuring ten of the Democrats seeking the 2020 presidential nomination on Wednesday.

Each candidate, included because they have qualified for the Democratic National Committee-sanctioned September debate, will be given 40 minutes to address questions posed by CNN moderators and members of the audience, according to CNN.
