Sanders, Trump teams in talks to make debate happen
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleOfficials with Bernie Sander’s presidential campaign say back-channel talks are underway with representatives of Donald Trump to arrange a rare, unsanctioned bi-partisan debate, MSNBC reports.
Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver predicts to MSNBC that the debate would be one of the most watched in history.
“Let’s see if he has the courage to go one-on-one with Bernie Sanders,” he says, according to the Hill.
On Wednesday night, Trump said he would be up to debate Sanders if the money went to charity.
While some in the Trump camp have backpedaled over Trump’s statements, adviser Sarah Huckabee Sanders tells MSNBC the presumptive GOP nominee would be happy to debate the presumptive Democratic also-ran.
Game on. I look forward to debating Donald Trump in California before the June 7 primary.
