Your support makes all the difference.We’re taking your questions about the dramatic Democratic debates in a Reddit Ask Me anything (AMA) hosted by The Independent.
US reporter Clark Mindock is in Miami, where 20 presidential hopefuls made their pitch to the American people - and took shots at each other - across two nights.
He’s taking questions on their performances, how the first debates of this election season could shape the race, as well as anything else you want to ask him, for an hour from 3pm.

The first debate on Wednesday night was a relatively serene affair - but Thursday’s debate featured a bunch of big hitters who went toe-to-toe in a surprisingly tense event.
Kamala Harris was widely hailed as the victor, after launching an excoriating attack on frontrunner Joe Biden’s record on race relations, as the former vice president was several times forced on the defensive.
Mindock was in the audience at the Adrienne Arsht Centre for both of the debates, just a week after watching Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign launch just over 200 miles away at the Amway Centre in Orlando.
