Many people were set in place on Wednesday to help prepare for the huge event.
Stand-in actors were rehearsing with directors and camera crews to ensure everything was in place for the big debate.
Double take. Not the candidates—stand-in actors. We are in #demdebate rehearsal mode. These stand-ins help ABC crews set their camera shots. #abc13 #abc13demdebate https://t.co/GN4c39lb2O pic.twitter.com/CINX4wktuV

Crews were also setting up the spin room, which is where reporters will talk to the candidates after the debate.
First look inside the #demdebate #spinroom. What’s a spin room? It’s where reporters talk to candidates/their reps post debate. Our @TomAbrahams13 will be live there tomorrow. #abc13 #abc13demdebate https://t.co/GN4c39lb2O pic.twitter.com/PknWdnqATF
