Sanders in secret meeting with Obama
The Times report already is being used as a fundraising tool by the Clinton campaign, which is accusing Sanders of considering going back on past pledges not to run negative ads. The President qualified his remarks about each Democratic candidate by saying that he knew Hillary Clinton better because she had served in his administration.
But the former secretary of state avoided an explicit commitment to three more such encounters, which Sanders has suggested, CNN reported. “Now she is asking to change the rules to schedule a debate next week that is not sanctioned by the DNC”, Weaver said.
“The answer is obvious”.
“But the dynamics in this race have changed, and so suddenly they want a new debate”, he said. “Sanders has significant momentum”, Sanders’ campaign said. Front-runners typically prefer to limit the number of debates they participate in, and Clinton’s campaign had sought to keep the schedule small.
Progressive state Senator Ray Lesniak (D-20) told PolitickerNJ that while he still supports Clinton, he does not think her candidacy is a sure bet.
“We strongly encourage every Democratic candidate to leap at the opportunity to add an additional debate to the absurdly limited official DNC schedule and work to find other opportunities to make the presidential contest the fierce competition of progressive ideas that Democrats deserve”, DFA Executive Director Charles Chamberlain said.
Bernie Sanders is preferred to Hillary Clinton by the vast majority of younger Democratic voters in Iowa, latest polling shows.
Sanders has cut into Clinton’s lead among female voters.
As Clinton campaigned in Iowa, Sanders met President Barack Obama at the White House, several days after the USA leader had some high praise for the former first lady, describing her in an interview as ready to govern from day one.
“It’s just a way that our folks can have an app that we trust to get the numbers to us in a timely fashion”, D’Alessandro said.
The Sanders campaign, however, won’t commit to appearing in the debate, citing the Democratic National Committee’s exclusion clause: Any candidate who appears in an unsanctioned debate will be barred from future debates.
The proposed February 4 debate would air on MSNBC on a Thursday.
Presidential candidates often release their medical records in some sort of public way to assure the public that the candidate they are throwing their support behind has a chance of living out their four-year-term.
So why is Sanders now standing in the way of a final New Hampshire debate?
