Clinton’s two primary rivals, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and former Maryland Gov. In total, Clinton debated her Democratic rivals nine times over the course of seven months. An analysis by NDN, a Democratic think tank, found television viewership of the 12 Republican primary debates in 2016 was about 186 million, more than double the 72 million people who tuned in for the Democratic debates.

There will be at least six more debates in early 2020, including meetings in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina.
