Among the candidates in the first Democratic presidential debate on Wednesday, Former Rep. John Delany leads the pack with a total net worth of $93 million in 2016.

With most of the two dozen Democrats running for president in 2020 set to hold their first debates this week, former Vice President Joe Biden's campaign released new endorsements from four states on Tuesday, including Utah. Michael Bennet; Author and speaker Marianne Williamson; California Rep. Eric Swalwell; Entrepreneur Andrew Yang; Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper.

The second debate will air Thursday, June 27 at 9/8c and will feature a separate group of candidates.

Here are some key moments to watch for during the matchups. Sanders, however, would not be the only Democratic candidate making such a promise.

The candidates will try to answer a critical question, Vicino says.

Meanwhile, Mr Buttigieg has been facing challenges in his hometown in the wake of a police shooting that resulted in the death of a 54-year-old black man.

"The cost will march toward $3 trillion and benefit a lot of wealthy families and future high-earners", Brian Riedl, an analyst at the Manhattan Institute, a libertarian-leaning think tank, said, according to the report.

However, in a field with a number of prominent left-wing politicians, most notably Bernie Sanders who defines himself as a democratic socialist, Mr Biden risks being framed as a continuity rather than a change candidate.

But the questions often unanticipated are those created to show the candidates' more human side.

Larry Sabato, director of the Centre for Politics at the University of Virginia, said Mr Biden's front-runner status gave an incentive to the other politicians to focus their attacks on him during the debates. "So it's very hard to break through".

O'Rourke's travails come perhaps as the biggest surprise.
