Senator Bernie Sanders plans to participate in the Democratic presidential debate in April if one is held, his campaign said on Tuesday, the strongest indication yet that he plans to continue competing against Joseph R. Biden Jr. in the 2020 primary for the foreseeable future.
The Democratic National Committee has said previously that there would be a debate in April, but one has not been scheduled. The committee has not announced a media partner or a site host critical elements that are typically agreed upon at least a month in advance. The coronavirus crisis has already upended most facets of the Democratic primary, and there is no guarantee that the debate will take place.
Still, the fact that the Sanders campaign is signaling, for now, that he would be on a debate stage in April is a strikingly public sign of the Vermont senators determination to wield political influence and challenge Mr. Biden for primacy despite the former vice presidents nearly insurmountable delegate lead.
Senator Sanders is still running for president, said Mike Casca, a top campaign official. If there is a debate in April, he plans to be there.

Biden should skip it. No need to waste his time on a vanity primary candidacy that is already over when we have actual shit to deal with.

BS just wants free national publicity. We've seen many many Biden Sanders debates. Enough. Stop humoring the child on my Party's nickel.

(10,424 posts)Is there something new that Senator Sanders has to say that hasn't already been said over and over again? Why on earth would the DNC feel the need for another debate at this stage of the race? Bernie's campaign is rolling in dough so why can't he just buy his own air time?
