"What's the risk?" Bolduan asked.

“There’s no risk. She’s done very well in the debates. The debates have been very good, but Sen. Sanders doesn’t get to decide when we debate, particularly when he’s running a very negative campaign against us. Let’s see if he goes back to the kind of tone he said he was going to set early on. If he does that, then we’ll talk about debates," Benenson said.

"So no chance of a New York debate?" Bolduan pressed.

“I didn’t say that," Benenson said. "I said we’re going to see what kind of tone he sets."

Sanders first public move in his attempt to take on Clinton in New York came on Sunday's Meet the Press, when he challenged her to yet another debate. "I would hope very much that as we go into New York state, Secretary Clinton's home state, that we will have a debate – New York City, upstate, wherever – on the important issues facing New York and in fact the country," he said. When Chuck Todd asked if he's worried that Clinton will refuse, Sanders answered "Yeah, I do have a little bit of concern about that. But I certainly would like to see a debate in New York State."

The Democrats had previously agreed to hold a debate in April and another in May, and CBS News reports that on Sunday Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver sent a letter to Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook formally requesting that the former take place in New York – and suggesting that Clinton is dragging her feet because she's afraid of holding a forum in her home state.


Aside from boosting Sanders' delegate count, a defeat for Clinton in her adopted home state would be a humiliating blow. But New York presents a huge challenge for the Vermont senator. A recent poll had Clinton at 71 percent to his 23 percent. Nevertheless, the Sanders team believes that if he can turn things around in Michigan, he can do the same in New York. According to the Washington Post, he plans to "barnstorm the state as if he were running for governor," and play up his Brooklyn roots. His campaign is looking into issues that could potentially resonate with New York voters, such as Clinton's Wall Street ties and failure to come out strongly against fracking, which is banned in New York.


So, the next few weeks should be exciting for New Yorkers – we're finally going to get some attention from the national media!

BERNIE Is the REAL DEAL!!.......The People's Champion.........

Dear Robby,

I am writing to you about the remaining, agreed­upon Democratic primary season debates in April and May of this year. As you know, Secretary Clinton agreed to three additional debates – one in March, one in April, one in May – in return for our campaign agreeing to the late­scheduled debate in New Hampshire prior to that state’s primary.

At Senator Sanders’ request, the March debate was held in Michigan. As I understand it, there was previously an agreement reached by our representatives for the May debate to be held in California. I trust that commitment remains on your part.

However, there has not been agreement on the April debate in terms of date or location. Our campaign continues to believe that the people of New York, the largest April primary, deserve to have the debate held in their state, and that it should be held prior to the New York primary.

Given the outcome of electoral contests since March 15 it is clearer than ever that New York will play a critical
role in determining the Democratic nominee. However, your campaign has consistently chosen to deny the people of New York the opportunity to see Senator Sanders and Secretary Clinton debate in the Empire State.

It is difficult to understand your motivation. I have received calls from numerous news organizations seeking to sponsor a New York debate so I know the media interest would be high. Can you please explain why New York should not host the April debate? Is the Secretary concerned about debating before the people who twice elected her to the U.S. Senate?

Perhaps there is some tactical advantage you are seeking by avoiding a debate in New York but I would remind you that Senator Sanders agreed to debate the Secretary in New Hampshire when he was well ahead in the polls.

I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience so we can schedule the New York debate in April.



Regards, Jeff Weaver

PRESS RELEASE


Sanders Challenges Clinton to Debate in New York



MARCH 27TH, 2016





BURLINGTON, Vt. – U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders on Sunday challenged Hillary Clinton to debate him in New York before the state’s April 19 primary election.

“I would hope very much that as we go into New York state, Secretary Clinton’s home state, that we will have a debate – New York City or Upstate, wherever – on the important issues facing New York and, in fact, the country,” Sanders told Chuck Todd in an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Fresh off sweeping victories on Saturday in Washington, Alaska and Hawaii, Sanders was looking ahead to upcoming primaries in Wisconsin and New York.

He told The Associated Press it was “really absurd” that Clinton so far has refused to agree to a debate with him in her home state.

Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ campaign manager, wrote a letter on Sunday to Clinton’s campaign manager, Robby Mook, underscoring the senator’s call for a New York debate.

“New York will play a critical role in determining the Democratic nominee. However, your campaign has consistently chosen to deny the people of New York the opportunity to see Senator Sanders and Secretary Clinton debate in the Empire State,” Weaver wrote to Mook.

“It is difficult to understand your motivation,” Weaver added “Can you please explain why New York should not host the April debate? Is the Secretary concerned about debating before the people who twice elected her to the U.S. Senate? Perhaps there is some tactical advantage you are seeking by avoiding a debate in New York but I would remind you that Sen. Sanders agreed to debate the secretary in New Hampshire when he was well ahead in the polls.”
