Democratic candidates for president will be back in Iowa this weekend for two big events — the third Democratic debate in Des Moines and a multi-county sponsored barbecue in Ames.

The Iowa State Daily will have reporters and photographers at each event and will provide live coverage and analysis following the events.

Below are details about each event and how to follow coverage on them.

Democratic debate

CBS will broadcast the third Democratic debate featuring Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley live from Drake University at 7 p.m Saturday. The debate is co-sponsored by CBS, KCCI-TV and The Des Moines Register.

Central Iowa residents can watch the debate on Channel 8.
