Stage design for ABC News Democratic primary debates in the 2020 Election cycle.

The design was first used on Thursday, September 12, 2019, for the third Democratic primary debate at Texas Southern University’s Health & PE Center in Houston, co-sponsored with Univison. 

The debate was moderated by ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, David Muir and Linsey Davis along with Univision’s Jorge Ramos.

The design was again used on Friday, February 7, 2020, ahead of the New Hampshire primary. ABC News, WMUR and Apple News hosted the debate at Saint Anselm College’s Sullivan Arena, moderated by George Stephanopoulos, David Muir, Linsey Davis, Monica Hernandez and Adam Sexton.
