(AP)   In the wake of President Donald Trump’s impeachment comes the last Democratic presidential debate of the year. Thursday’s debate in Los Angeles will feature the fewest number of candidates so far, just seven, a result of the Democratic Party’s stricter rules for qualifying. California offers the largest haul of delegates, giving candidates their biggest host venue of the campaign. Yet with impeachment leading the news and the holidays at hand, the debate isn’t expected to draw that much attention from voters. The debate begins at 8 p.m. Eastern on PBS and CNN. Two candidates who didn’t make the debate stage are running ads reminding viewers they’re still in the race.
