Standing six feet apart on an airless and suddenly sparse Democratic debate stage, former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders set the tone for a particularly somber and unusual night.
With COVID-19 spreading ever more rapidly throughout the country, co-hosts CNN and Univision first announced that the previously planned debate would have no audience, before moving the entire enterprise to one of its studios in Washington, D.C. — making this the first debate to do so since the 1960

Part of what has made Fox & Friends the top-rated morning show on cable news is the interplay between co-hosts Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt and Brian Kilmeade on the "curvy couch" they sit on while filming the show every day from a studio in Manhattan. But on Tuesday morning, only Doocy sat on the couch, while his co-hosts sat in other parties of the same studio, one level down.

Tom Hanks has sparked a bit of a debate. On Sunday, the 63-year-old actor posted a photo of some toast with Vegemite, which he appeared to be eating during his time in isolation in Australia. The Oscar winner and his wife, Rita Wilson, have been in isolation since they both tested positive for coronavirus last week. "Thanks to the Helpers," Hanks captioned the photo of the meal.
The coronavirus was a topic heavily discussed by Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden during the latest Democratic debate on Sunday night. While the debate was originally set to take place in Phoenix, Arizona, it was moved to Washington, D.C.

It’s understatement to say that things have changed since the candidates gathered for the last Democratic debate, on February 25. Following a shocking Super Tuesday and subsequent state primaries, we’re down to just two major presidential candidates: former Vice President Joe Biden, and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.
Tonight, the two major candidates remaining in the 2020 Democratic primary race will finally debate in hopes of securing their nomination for this year's presidential election. Former Vice President Joe Biden and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders will go head-to-head on-stage from the CNN studio in Washington, D.C., after the event was relocated from the Arizona Federal Theatre in Phoenix as a result of the continued spread of the coronavirus.
The Democratic National Committee is moving Sunday's presidential debate from Arizona to Washington, D.C., because of concerns about coronavirus. The party had already announced that the debate between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders would be held without a live audience.
CNN will move its planned coverage of the next Democratic debate to a studio in Washington D.C., while Univision journalist Jorge Ramos, who was slated to take part as a moderator, will bow out of the event, citing medical concerns.
The next Democratic National Committee debate will feature all qualifying candidates, but the event may be more notable for an element that will be missing.

It's hard out there for a cable news anchor — especially these days, when disinformation runs rampant. But no matter how overwhelming the current news cycle is, what happened on The 11th Hour with Brian Williams on Thursday night was nothing short of hilarious, and Twitter is having a field day.
