Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet and Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., on the second night of the Democratic primary debate hosted by NBC News in Miami.

The Democratic National Convention has announced the candidates who have made the cut for debates later this month.

CNN will provide live coverage for the debates, which will be held on July 30 and 31 in Detroit.

Here’s who will grace the stage: Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet, former Vice President Joe Biden, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg, former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, former Maryland Rep. John Delaney, Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, California Sen. Kamala Harris, former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, author Marianne Williamson and businessman Andrew Yang.

The only change in this pool of candidates is that Bullock, who was left out of the first Democratic debate in June, will be replacing California Rep. Eric Swalwell, who dropped out earlier this month.

Former Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Sestak, who recently announced his presidential bid, failed to qualify for this round of debates along with Massachusetts Rep. Set Moulton, Miramar, Florida Mayor Wayne Messam and billionaire investor Tom Steyer.
