A Look at Juan Carlos López, CNN en Español's Rep for Tonight's Debate

The CNN vet has been around the electoral block.

There has been a petition floating around asking CNN to add a moderator from a left-leaning publication to tonight’s debate. That petition isn’t going anywhere, but there is another kind of viewpoint distribution at play in tonight’s debate, in the form of Juan Carlos López.

Lopez, CNN en Español’s Washington-based chief correspondent and host of Directo USA, will be questioning candidates alongside CNN’s Dana Bash and moderator Anderson Cooper.
