September's Democratic presidential debate has been narrowed to one night only, as more candidates have called it quits altogether.

Ten candidates are on stage for three-hour event hosting by ABC News and Univision, beginning at 7 p.m:

  • Former Vice President Joe Biden

  • New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker

  • South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg

  • Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro

  • California Sen. Kamala Harris; Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar

  • Former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke

  • Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders

  • Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren

  • Entrepreneur Andrew Yang

It's the third debate of the campaign and the first time that Biden, Warren and Sanders are all together.
