Fourteen major candidates are in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, with about a month to go before the first votes are cast. Former HUD secretary Julián Castro ended his bid Thursday.
The candidates: So far, five candidates appear to have hit the donation and polling requirements to make the stage for the Jan. 14 debate: former vice president Joe Biden; former South Bend, Ind., mayor Pete Buttigieg; Sen. Amy Klobuchar (Minn.); Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.); and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.). Billionaire activist Tom Steyer and entrepreneur Andrew Yang were on stage in the December debate but have yet to qualify, along with other candidates, including late entrant Mike Bloomberg.
Where they stand: Candidates have laid out where they stand on a number of issues, including economic inequality, health care, immigration, changes to government, climate change, education and foreign policy. Answer some of the questions yourself and see who agrees with you.
