Ryan, sitting in the green room, thanked his supporters in a video on Twitter before he heads out to the debate stage.
Inslee also shared a video, in which he said, \"Getting warmed up for the debate tonight in Miami. We got a nice looking stage down here. I'm really looking forward to this. Let's go get 'em.\"
8:13 p.m.: Ahead of Democratic debates, candidates visit shelter for unaccompanied children

While neither Warren, of Massachusetts, or Klobuchar, of Minnesota, were allowed into the Homestead Temporary Shelter for Unaccompanied Children, Warren spoke outside of the facility and called the separation of families at the border a “stain on our country.”
Ahead of the debate on Thursday, which will feature the second half of presidential candidates, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, former Rep. Beto O’Rourke Of Texas, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, and New York Mayor Bill de Blasio say they will all visit Homestead.
Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, former Secretary of HUD Julian Castro, former Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper and Marianne Williamson, a spiritual guru, and author, are scheduled to be there Friday.
Another candidate, Rep. Eric Swalwell of California, visited the facility Monday.
Their visits come amidst renewed criticism over the Trump administration's treatment of children crossing into the country along the southern border. The outcry has taken on fresh urgency in recent days, as a harrowing image circulated that showed a man and his 23-month-old child lying lifeless and face down in the mud, with the girl's arm draped over her father's body. Authorities say that the two drowned as the attempted to cross from Mexico into the United States.
8:01 p.m.: Here are some fast facts about the candidates who will be on the debate stage tonight

The first 10 candidates set to square off on Wednesday are:

7:16 p.m.: Inslee, the climate champion, reiterates push for climate change debate in Miami
The Washington governor, who is running a single-issue campaign on climate change, has sought for the DNC to devote an entire debate, out of the 12 expected throughout the Democratic primary, to climate change.
With the DNC so far refusing his request, he said during a gaggle with reporters on Wednesday: \"I hope we're going to have some questions about this tonight. But no I think this does deserve a full and fair debate so all of the candidates are called to belly up to the bar and really show their plans, rather than just bumper stickers.\"
The issue is one of the biggest concerns for Democrats, and Inslee aims to elevate his campaign through his persistent push for action.
\"We have what I have, and my clean energy vision has been called the gold standard. And we have to have full-scale commitment. That kind that can only be demonstrated in a full debate. So we have to have climate change debates in every debate -- or questions -- but we need a full-scale debate.\"

7:01 p.m.: Texas Rep. Joaquin Castro hits spin room to talk about twin brother's campaign ahead of debate
Just hours before his brother is set to take the stage, Rep. Joaquin Castro was in the spin room talking to reporters about what Julián Castro’s goals are tonight.
\"I think he just has to lay out his vision for the country and he has to be himself and if he can do those two things fundamentally, then the details of policy, he knows them, the issues, he knows them….He has a sense for what Americans care about, Democrats of course, but also folks that are more conservative. And so what you are going to see is a candidate who is speaking very authentically tonight.\"
When asked if his brother’s background on immigration policy would benefit his message in light of recent interest in the topic, Castro said it would certainly help him out.
\"Well I think what gives him an edge is that he has lived basically an immigrant’s experience,\" Castro said, although he notes it was their grandmother who immigrated from Mexico to the US in the 1920s.

6:29 p.m.: Ice cream truck outside debates handing out \"joecones\"
Former Vice President Joe Biden hasn't arrived in Miami just yet -- he will take the stage Thursday night -- but his campaign is handing out \"joecones,\" a nod to Biden's love of ice cream, near the debate site from a truck clad in \"yo apoyo Joe\" signs.
.@JoeBiden isn’t in Miami yet, but an his campaign has an ice cream truck here handing out “joecones” until 8pm. I’m told the flavor is “the taste of victory” and it tastes “cotton candy-like.” They are colored blue in honor of the Dem debate pic.twitter.com/qUumtiPB22

6:11 p.m.: Julián Castro joins ABC News' Powerhouse Politics podcast hours before first debate
Just hours ahead of the first Democratic presidential debate, former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro joined the \"Powerhouse Politics\" podcast that he plans to press his case for decriminalization of illegal border crossings when he takes the debate stage on Wednesday.
Castro admitted to ABC News Political Director Rick Klein and ABC News Chief Congressional Correspondent Mary Bruce that his name recognition is not currently as high as some other candidates, but said he hopes that by the end of the debate, people will better understand his experience and vision for the country.
\"Right now, it's, 'articulate your vision for the future of the country and your answer on these important issues that you're facing in one minute,' and I'm going to try and do that tonight,\" Castro said.
5:45 p.m. DNC Chair Tom Perez gaggles with reporters hours before first debate begins
Perez told a crowd of reporters in the spin room that the Democratic debates will not be anything like the 2016 GOP debates, which featured fireworks and animosity among the crowded field.
\"There will be nobody talking about hand size at tonight's debate,\" he said in a reference to then-candidate Donald Trump assuring the crowd at a 2016 GOP debate that \"there's no problem\" with his hands after Florida Sen. Marco Rubio mocked his small hands on the trail. \"There will be nobody trying to figure out silly nicknames for their opponents, we'll leave that to the Republicans.\"

5:37 p.m.: 2020 spouses take up mantle and their partners and staff prepare for debate night
Sen. Bernie Sanders' wife Jane Sanders, like many 2020 candidates, headed to the Homestead detention center Wednesday. As she stood outside of the center, she told reporters that closing detention facilities would be her husband's first executive order.
The senator's Twitter page shared a video of his wife visiting and asking questions about the detention center.
\"As a mother, as a grandmother, I can't fathom how we can do this to children and families. This is not what America is supposed to be,\" she said.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee's wife Trudi has been helping him with debate preps and keeping him grounded, but has largely been a quieter presence on the trail so far.
On Wednesday morning, he took a walk alone and she took over his Twitter account.
She introduced herself with a short video, saying \"he's busy getting ready for the debate... so I'm taking over.\"
The chain then went on to an expansive thread detailing their relationship over the years with a bunch of archival photos - pics of them and their family and his career through the years - introducing their entire family all the way down to their \"grandpups and cats.\"
Hi everyone! I’m Trudi Inslee. Tonight is the big night! I’m taking over for Jay here on Twitter because, as you might guess, he’s pretty busy getting ready for the #DemDebate. I want to tell you a little about the man I’ve been married to for the last (almost) 47 years. pic.twitter.com/17jXHKwaAg

5:25 p.m.: Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, sidelined for the first debates, begins town hall in Iowa
Bullock is taking the stage Wednesday, but instead of in Miami, he'll be participating in a televised town hall in Des Moines. The Montana governor who is one of three candidates not appearing on either debate stage this week is crisscrossing the early voting state of Iowa and New Hampshire to meet with voters who will cast the earliest ballots in 2020.
\"I am excited that instead of being in Miami, I'll actually be talking to voters. I'm going to spend time in both New Hampshire and Iowa. I've won three times statewide, Montana, by putting people I think, above sort of the politics and the political parties,\" he told ABC News earlier this month.
The first town hall is being live streamed here.

5:15 p.m.: Klobuchar stops at Homestead, the third presidential candidate to visit this weekOutside the gates of the migrant facility, Klobuchar told ABC news, “I hope we can work something out to take some of the very good oversight measures that were in the House bill,” and that “it’s important that we try to come tougher on a bill- We don’t want the funding to run out.”
With five hours until in the first 2020 Democratic presidential debate, the senator told reporters that her goal for the night is to “make [her] case to the American people.”

4:36 p.m. Play debate bingo online with these groups
During the debates, viewers can entertain themselves with themed bingo boards and drinking games circulating on social media. The writer Amee Vanderpool (@girlsreallyrule) shared a bingo board that has been circulating on Twitter that highlights some early tropes in the race, including Tulsi Gabbard’s surfing and the debate around socialism. Others are using the games to bring attention to particular issue areas—the National Iranian American Council (@NIACAction) posted a bingo board focused on the Iran crisis and Young Invincibles (@YoungInvincible), a young adult political advocacy group, filled its board with issues such as education and student voting.
3:25 p.m.: Sanders says he is \"absolutely\" ready for debate
As he left the Knight Concert Hall a few minutes ago, Sanders told reporters that he is \"absolutely\" ready for his appearance on Thursday's debate stage and is \"studying hard\" and \"reviewing our records.\"
He specifically pointed to his Medicare-for-all plan, work in Congress to increase the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour, and recently announced bill to wipe out all student loan debt and make public colleges and universities tuition-free as few areas of specific focus.
Just prior to his departure and the mini-gaggle in which he made those comments, Sanders appeared on MSNBC and shared that he hopes debate viewers understand that the multitude of ideas and grand rhetoric they'll hear from the stage aren't new and that those things alone haven't led to any progress on economic inequality in the past five decades.
\"A lot of people have a lot of ideas, and I'm very fond of my Democratic opponents; I've known a lot of them for many, many years. They're friends of mine. But here is the point that I hope everybody thinks about.,\" Sanders said. \"We've heard a lot of great speeches over the years. We've had a lot of great ideas. How does it happen that for the last almost 50 years, the middle class has been in decline, despite all those great speeches? How does it happen that the very, very wealthy are becoming phenomenally wealthier?\"

3:24 p.m.: Hickenlooper, who will appear on night two, stops by the spin room
The former Colorado governor drew a sharp contrast between himself and Bernie Sanders, both of whom are set to be on stage together Thursday night. Over the past few weeks, Hickenlooper has been critical of Sanders’ “Medicare for all” plan, saying that preserving a public option is better for the American people.
\"I respect Bernie Sanders,\" he said. \"I don’t criticize him personally but I disagree with him with giving healthcare for everyone, while we take away options for millions of people.\"
Hickenlooper has distinguished himself as a self-proclaimed “pragmatic progressive,” taking a more moderate policy approach and warning that calls for big government expansions will hurt the Democratic Party in 2020.
\"I think the word ‘socialism’ has a lot of baggage in this country, particularly in swing states… It’s not a winning strategy,\" said Hickenlooper. \"These [calls for] massive expansions of government, I think, Republicans are going to call us socialists and that’s a tough hill to climb in states like Michigan and Ohio.\"
--Briana Stewart and Johnny Verhovek reported from Miami, Florida
3:15 p.m.: ABC News' Political Director Rick Klein writes:
Tonight is, of course, the first debate. But it’s far from the first time these candidates have interacted with each other in close quarters. I’ve spoken to three candidates in the last two days who have made that identical point: that they’ve had the chance to see their rivals up close at a series of multi-candidate events in early-voting states. That’s valuable information to political professionals, since it allows them to anticipate lines or particular arguments. The candidates will get very, very, very familiar with such things in the months to come, since there are 11 more debates scheduled after this week’s. But as Julian Castro just pointed out in an interview we did with him, it doesn’t really feel like the first \"debate\" to the candidates.
2:21 p.m.: Hickenlooper laughs off not being recognized at debate hall
Before participating in one of the highest-profile opportunities of the primary season yet, former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, one of the lesser-know contenders appearing on the second night, was asked by a security at the debate site if he was there to pick up a credential. After telling the security person he was in fact a candidate, Hickenlooper laughed off the incident, telling ABC News' Political Director Rick Klein, \"Story of my life. I'm a humble brewer.\"
Hickenlooper is laughing this off. \"Story of my life,\" he told me just now in the spin room. \"I'm a humble brewer.\" #DemDebate https://t.co/JtPde921Pb

1:33 p.m.: Warren and Klobuchar among some of the 2020 candidates visiting the Homestead detention center
As candidates finish final preps for the opening night of the first debates, the brewing fight in Washington over immigration and the human toll on migrant children and families is looming over Miami.
Before taking the first stage Wednesday, some 2020 Democrats are shifting their attention to a local temporary shelter for thousands of unaccompanied children in Homestead, FL -- a backdrop to condemn President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.
![\"PHOTO:](\"http://a.abcnews.com/images/Politics/debate-hall-ht-jpo-190626_hpMain_4x3t_384.jpg\")
Warren appeared at the shelter earlier Wednesday, but did not enter the facility, instead joining roughly 100 people protesting the \"incarceration of children\" on the road across from the shelter. Klobuchar is also planning on heading to the center in the afternoon.
\"I think it’s very important to shine a light on what’s happening here and continue to beat the drum and use my platform to educate and empower people,\" actress Alyssa Milano told ABC News as she walked the perimeter of the facility with protesters about an hour before the senator arrived.
The two presidential candidates from Texas, O’Rourke and Castro are expected to visit on Thursday and Friday. De Blasio and Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard are expected to visit on Thursday. Harris, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, and Marianne Williamson are also expected to stop at the center on Friday, according to their campaigns.

12:00 p.m.: The first 10 candidates prep for opening night debate
On Wednesday night, standing at the center podiums will be Warren and O'Rourke. The Massachusetts senator, currently a top-tier candidate after narrowing the gap between former Vice President Joe Biden in recent polls, will have the chance to set the tone against some of the more moderate candidates -- Klobuchar, Delaney and Ryan -- with her progressive agenda stacked with detailed policy proposals.
For O'Rourke, the debate is an opportunity to recapture the prominence and spectacle that surrounded his entry into the contest back in March -- and amass enough traction to put him among the higher polling candidates before the second debate in July.
Booker, who arrives in Miami after last week's clash with Biden over his rival repeating a refrain of praise for segregationist senators at a fundraiser, the pressure is on to overcome lagging poll numbers that put him in the middle of the field. He has spent the early days of the week doing push-ups, drinking a \"lots\" of LaCroix, and eating some popcorn to prepare for the big night.
![\"PHOTO:](\"http://a.abcnews.com/images/Politics/debate-1st-lineup-rt-ps-190626_hpEmbed_3x2_384.jpg\")
\"Debate prep is serious and one should take it seriously, but you also have to have moments where you can take a break, reset, get back in it,\" a campaign aide told ABC News.
For Delaney, who has been prepping in part by watching the crowded Republican debates in 2016, his campaign team said the goal is to \"make a little bit of a splash and see what happens.\"
\"Wednesday night is going to be a dog fight, let's not kid ourselves,\" said national press secretary Michael Hopkins. \"We're going to try to be the adults in the room and be more about substance than about flash.\"
Inslee arrived in Miami early to meet with and learn from folks on the ground and on the front lines of climate change.
\"Our focus is largely on the governor presenting his message, and I think there are two things that set him apart -- he's the only candidate who's saying climate change needs to be the No. 1 priority,\" Inslee's communications director Jared Leopold told ABC News.
On night two, although it won't be Biden clashing with Booker, he will be standing alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., as they are expected to bump elbows to woo the Democratic base and establish their front-runner status.
A day before the first debate, NBC announced that each night will be split into five segments with four commercial breaks over the two hours. Throughout each segment, candidates will have 60 seconds to answer questions and 30 seconds to respond to follow-ups, according to NBC.
![\"PHOTO:](\"http://a.abcnews.com/images/Politics/cory-booker-gty-jpo-190622_hpEmbed_2_10x7_384.jpg\")
In order to qualify for the debates in June and July, candidates must earn at least 1% support in three separate national or early-state polls conducted from Jan. 1 to two weeks before the given debate, or receive donations from at least 65,000 people across 20 different states, with a minimum of 200 unique donors per state. The number of debate participants has been capped at 20 by the Democratic National Committee.
There are three declared candidates who will not appear on either stage, after failing to meet the DNC's qualification standards for the first debate: Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton, Miramar, Florida, Mayor Wayne Messam.
