CNN to host two straight nights of Democratic town halls before N.H. primary

CNN announced Friday it will host eight Democratic presidential town halls over a two-night period from New Hampshire ahead of the party's first primary slated for Feb. 11.

The network format has candidates appearing in back-to-back hours on Feb. 5 and 6. Questions will come from either a CNN moderator or the audience at Saint Anselm College. Moderators will be announced at a later date.

"The audience will be comprised of invited New Hampshire Democrats and independents who say they will vote in the Democratic primary, as well as Saint Anslem College students," according to CNN.

The full lineup includes former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang and businessman Tom Steyer on Feb 5, and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), and former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick (D-Mass.) on Feb. 6.
