Join The Los Angeles Times for the first Democratic presidential debate.

Here's a preview of what Hillary Rodham Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders need to accomplish.

Tuesday starting at 6 p.m. Pacific, we'll be covering it all live via Trail Guide.

We'll be continuing the conversation on social media, so make sure to follow @latimespolitics and add LosAngelesTimes on Snapchat.

You can get in on the fun with the return of our interactive debate bingo.

An element of our reporting during the primetime debate beginning at 5 p.m. Pacific will be real-time reaction from our debate watch party.

You can join us for an evening of engaging discussion, bingo and more. I'll be your host and will be filing dispatches for Trail Guide from the scene.
