Democratic candidates to debate in town hall

On Tuesday, front-running democratic presidential candidates will go head-to-head in a South Carolina town hall held on USC's campus. The town hall will be moderated by CNN’s Chris Cuomo. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will answer questions from South Carolina voters just a few days before they will vote in the democratic primary.

Clinton is currently leading over Sanders in the democratic primaries. In a very tight race, Clinton defeated Sanders in both the Nevada and Iowa primaries, earning 52.6 percent of the vote in Nevada and 49.9 percent of the vote in Iowa, compared to Sanders' 47.3 percent in Nevada and 49.6 percent in Iowa. Sanders took the win in New Hampshire with 60.4 percent of the vote compared to Clinton's 38 percent.

The town hall will air on CNN from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m and will be live streamed on CNNgo.
