Only two candidates will be onstage for Sunday's Democratic primary debate: former Vice President Joe Biden and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. The CNN-Univision debate was relocated from Arizona to Washinton, D.C., and will not have an in-person audience due to coronavirus concerns

Follow live coverage online of the debate with real-time analysis from NPR reporters beginning at 8 p.m. Sunday, March 15. You can find fact-checking and analysis here (below) during the debate.
