Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren’s battle for well-educated voters could erupt at Thursday’s Democratic debate even as the seven candidates on the stage try to maintain a unified front against the man one of them will face next year, President Donald Trump.

The contenders will gather for the three-hour debate in Los Angeles at 8 p.m. Eastern time, a far smaller contingent than previous encounters, giving the increasingly aggressive top-tier candidates more time to air their differences.
