‘Time Best Spent Preparing for a General Election Campaign’
Hillary Clinton will not be debating Bernie Sanders in California. Fox News had invited both candidates for the Democratic nomination to debate before the all-important California primary, and Sen. Sanders had agreed last week. The Clinton campaign has just announced they are declining.
“We have declined Fox News’ invitation to participate in a debate in California,” a Clinton spokesperson, Jennifer Palmieri, said in a statement. As we have said previously, we plan to compete hard in the remaining primary states, particularly California, while turning our attention to the threat a Donald Trump presidency poses.”Â
“We believe that Hillary Clinton’s time is best spent campaigning and meeting directly with voters across California and preparing for a general election campaign that will ensure the White House remains in Democratic hands,” Palmieri added.
