CBS News is hosting the debate along with local CBS affiliate KCCI-TV and the Des Moines _Register_. The debate will air on CBS and will also be live-streamed on TIME.com, in collaboration with CBS News. It begins above at 9 p.m. E.T. The two-hour debate in Des Moines, Iowa, will be dramatically different from Tuesday’s Republican debate, as there will only be three candidates on stage: former Secretary of State [Hillary Clinton](http://time.com/4107286/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-women-new-hampshire-2016/), Vermont Sen. [Bernie Sanders](http://time.com/4108379/bernie-sanders-photo-civil-rights/) and former Maryland Gov. [Martin O’Malley](http://time.com/3938080/martin-omalley-foreign-policy/). CBS is partnering with Twitter to broadcast and track the online conversation about the debate, as well as formulate questions for the candidates. The official hashtag is #DemDebate. The debate is moderated by CBS News’ John Dickerson and Nancy Cordes, as well as two local journalists—KCCI’s Kevin Cooney and the _Register’s_ Kathie Obradovich. **MORE** [_How Hillary Clinton Is Targeting Republican Candidates_](http://time.com/4110301/hillary-clinton-republican-video/) ### See Photos of Candidates and Their Sweet Rides  Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks near his helicopter at the Iowa State Fair on Aug. 15, 2015, in Des Moines.
