The royal drama is bound to loom and spill over every now and then. And in the latest happening, Queen Elizabeth just bestowed her grandson Prince William with a brand new title. Yes, amid Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal exit to Canada, Queen Elizabeth conferred the title of Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland on Prince William. The 93-year-old monarch made the announcement on Saturday that the Duke of Cambridge will take upon this new role.

Were we watching the Democratic debate, or a hot mic moment from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? Much to Twitter’s delight, the audio from that awkward confrontation between presidential candidates and friends Elizabeth Warren, 70, and Bernie Sanders, 78, after the Jan. 14 debate in Des Moines finally aired on CNN.

The final Democratic debate before the Iowa caucus drew more viewers for CNN than the previous two sparring sessions.

Last night marked the last before the Iowa caucuses next month, and the six leading candidates—including Senator Elizabeth Warren, Senator , and former Vice President Joe Biden—took the stage in Des Moines hoping for a final boost in the polls.

Trevor Noah addressed new tensions between fellow Senators and presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren at the seventh presidential debate and the last before the Democratic primaries on his live Tuesday night show.Heading into the CNN/Des Moines Register debate atDrake University in Des Moines, Iowa, CNN had reported that at a meeting in 2018, Sanders told Warren he believed a woman couldn't win the 2020 presidential election.

Elizabeth Warren made a vigorous case for a female president and stood behind her accusation suggesting sexism by progressive rival Bernie Sanders Tuesday night in a tense Democratic debate that raised gender as a key issue in the sprint to Iowa’s presidential caucuses.Sanders vehemently denied Warren's accusation, which threatened to split the Democratic Party’s far-left flank -- and a longtime liberal alliance -- at a critical moment in the 2020 contest.“Look at the men on this stage.

The first Democratic debate of 2020 will kick off on Tuesday night, just a few weeks before primaries are set to begin in New Hampshire.The CNN/Des Moines Register debate, held at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, is the seventh overall of the 2020 presidential election cycle. Not long after former candidates Julian Castro and Cory Booker dropped out of the race, six candidates will take the stage: former Vice President Joe Biden; Sen.

I don’t envy the job of a debate moderator wrangling a stage full of candidates, especially when Twitter, instant replay, and 24-hour cable news breakdowns make every syllable they say the subject of such intense and immediate scrutiny. However: The one thing entirely in their control is the slate of questions they ask, and over and over again, a majority of this election season’s moderators have stumbled as they pursue confrontational moments that they can dissect to death.

It was only a matter of time at the Democratic debate before one of the moderators would bring up the controversy between Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. When asked about Sanders’ alleged past remarks that he believed a woman couldn’t win the presidential election (he has vehemently denied this), Warren said she disagreed, pointing out that the proof was in the two women at the January 14 debate.
