Democrats Announce 2016 Presidential Primary Debate Schedule

Mark your calendar – the Democratic Party has just released its schedule of official debates between the five current candidates.

DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz has just announced the schedule for the Democratic Party’s debates. 

“With six debates scheduled — at a pace of roughly one per month — voters will have ample opportunities to hear our candidates discuss their visions for our country’s future,” Wasserman Schultz writes at Medium.

• October 13, CNN, Nevada
• November 14, CBS/KCCI/Des Moines Register, Des Moines, IA
• December 19, ABC/WMUR, Manchester, NH
• January 17, NBC/Congressional Black Caucus Institute, Charleston, SC
• February or March, Univision/Washington Post, Miami, FL
• February or March, PBS, Wisconsin

“These six debates will highlight the stark differences between Democrats and Republicans, and help ensure that whoever caucus goers and voters choose as the Democratic nominee will become the 45th President of the United States,” she adds.

All five current candidates, and any others who might enter the race, presumably would be eligible to debate. They include Lincoln Chafee, Hillary Clinton, Martin O’Malley, Bernie Sanders, and Jim Webb.
