DNC Tries to Save This Week’s Debate

DNC chairman Tom Perez spent over 20 hours on the phone this weekend trying to save Thursday’s debate from crumbling, Axios reports, after a labor dispute prompted the presidential candidates to threaten a boycott.

“The DNC already switched the venue once because of another labor dispute, and it would be nearly impossible to find a new location now. But internally, Democrats are hopeful a deal will be made today or tomorrow — and some DNC staffers are already heading to Los Angeles this afternoon.”
