HARRISBURG (NEXSTAR) – Candidates vying for the Democratic nomination in Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate race will face off in an exclusive multi-market prime time debate hosted by abc27.

The candidates will debate for one hour on Thursday, April 21 at 8 p.m. and will both air and live-stream in 10 markets across Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, and Maryland.

All candidates on the ballot who meet eligibility criteria will be invited to participate. Candidates who have committed to attend include John Fetterman, Malcolm Kenyatta, and Conor Lamb.

Viewers will have the opportunity to ask the candidates questions that will be answered live during the debate.

Video Requirements:

• Keep your question to 20 seconds
• Start with your name and what city you live in

Tips on Shooting Your Video:

• Turn your phone sideways (landscape mode) before you start recording (this will make the video more ‘TV’ friendly)
• Make sure you are in a quiet place that is well-lit (so we can hear and see you)
• Double check that your head and shoulders are completely in view of the camera (we want to see your entire face)
• Hold the camera at eye level (or if possible set it on a bookshelf to keep it steady)
• Keep in mind you will be appearing on TV, so please make sure your clothes and background are appropriate
