Meanwhile, Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders’ campaign has called for three more official debates sanctioned by the Democratic National Committee. This comes as his rival, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, is calling on Sanders to join her proposed debate in New Hampshire next week, which has not been sanctioned by the DNC. Sanders has said he doesn’t want to participate in Clinton’s debate for fear of being barred from future official DNC events. On Wednesday, Sanders’ campaign manager Jeff Weaver said in a statement, “From the beginning of this campaign Sen. Sanders has called for more debates. Secretary Clinton has not. Now she is asking to change the rules to schedule a debate next week that is not sanctioned by the DNC. Why is that? The answer is obvious. The dynamics of the race have changed and Senator Sanders has significant momentum.”
