PBS' Judy Woodruff, a veteran of candidate debates, comes to Los Angeles for the Democratic primary showdown.
and “PBS NewsHour” anchor and managing editor Judy Woodruff — a veteran journalist who has covered 10 of the last 11 presidential campaigns — will be at the moderators’ table when seven candidates take the stage at Loyola Marymount University.
We have seven candidates, which would be the smallest field on a stage for these Democratic National Committee sponsored debates. So in a way that gives us more opportunity to ask direct questions to candidates, to ask the candidates to engage, hopefully to explore where there’s any daylight among them, and to get to some issues that maybe we haven’t gotten to before.
You just put your finger on it — substance. Our main goal is to try to put ourselves in the shoes of the American voters and [ask] what are they interested in? What are they looking for? What do they want to know from these candidates? How do they better understand them? Whether it’s their positions on the issues, or what about their character, or how they make decisions, what kind of leader would they be — all those things come into play.
