Democratic Debate Moved to Washington, DC

March 12, 2020 · 1:12 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Sunday’s Democratic presidential debate is being moved from Arizona to Washington, D.C. “out of an abundance of caution” over the spread of coronavirus, Politico reports.

“The debate, the first one-on-one clash between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, was originally scheduled to be held in Phoenix, Ariz. The DNC and CNN, which is hosting the debate alongside Univision, announced earlier in the week that there would be no live audience, spin room or media filing center as campaigns, media organizations and other groups take steps to curb the spread of coronavirus.”
