The Democratic National Committee on Thursday announced the lineup for the Democratic presidential primary debate on Sept. 12 in Houston. Ten candidates will take the debate stage on one night:

• Former Vice President Joe Biden
• New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker
• South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg
• Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro
• California Sen. Kamala Harris
• Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar
• Former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke
• Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders
• Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren
• Tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang

ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos, ABC News World News Tonight Anchor and Managing Editor David Muir, ABC News Correspondent Linsey Davis, and Univision anchor Jorge Ramos will moderate.

Biden and Warren will face off for the first time on the September debate stage. The pair debated during different nights in the June and July rounds with 20 candidates over two nights. The two candidates have a beef dating back to before Warren’s days as a Harvard Law School professor, when she argued against a 2005 law that made it harder to file for bankruptcy. Biden, then a senator from Delaware, where the credit card industry is based, supported the bill.

The debate will take place in Houston at Texas Southern University, a historically black university, and hosted by ABC News in partnership with Univision. Details relating to format and moderators have yet to be announced.

In order to qualify for the debate, candidates had to secure 130,000 individual donors plus 2% or more support in four DNC-approved primary polls. Candidates who have missed that mark, such as Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, and Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet, have criticized the qualifying metrics for prioritizing digital ads soliciting donations over talking to voters and not including polls that would have put some candidates over the threshold.
