Where to watch Tuesday’s Democratic debate around D.C.

WASHINGTON — The first Democratic presidential debate is at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 13  on CNN.

  • The National Press Club’s watch party is $10 for Club members and $15 if you’re not a member.  The club will be serving special drinks named for each candidate.  For instance, “The Hillary” is a Brooklyn Lager brought to you by a remote server (ha ha).
