CNN To Hold Town Hall For Democratic Presidential Candidates

Bernie Sanders and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley will each field questions from critical voters, CNN announced Sunday. The committee would have to waive its exclusivity clause that precludes candidates from appearing in unsanctioned debates and bars them from joining the official events if they do.

There have not been any presidential debates in MI yet, there are no Republican debates scheduled.

The town hall will take place two days after the Iowa caucus and less than a week before the New Hampshire primary.

NBC News hosted the most recent Democratic debate, which was held on January 17. “We’ve agreed to an additional debate in NH and are now in discussions to agree to additional debates-we think one of them should be in Flint”, Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta said in a statement. The final word on if the debate will happen will come down to both campaigns agreeing on other terms. We are prepared to show up for a debate next Thursday and for three additional debates in the months ahead, which we can all work together to schedule. “We will reconvene negotiations and finalize the schedule with the agreement of our campaigns on Tuesday morning”, she added.

Mr. Sanders’ camp has said it wants the debates, but said it won’t be bullied by Mrs. Clinton, who had previously waved off suggestions of more debates only to reverse herself as the race tightened.
