PRESS RELEASE
Sanders Accepts Invitation to New York Debate
APRIL 4, 2016

MILWAUKEE U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders on Monday accepted an invitation from CNN to debate Hillary Clinton in Brooklyn on April 14 before the New York Democratic Party primary election.
Sen. Sanders has accepted another invitation to debate Hillary Clinton in New York. We are glad that she finally has agreed, said Michael Briggs, Sanders spokesman. Sanders all along has pressed for a debate on television in prime time so the greatest number of New Yorkers and Americans may listen to the candidates and decide for themselves who has the best ideas about how to reform our rigged economy and the corrupt campaign finance system. Its great for the people of New York that there will be a debate in Brooklyn, something that the Clinton campaign has long opposed.
Fortunately, we were able to move a major New York City rally scheduled for April 14 to the night before. We hope the debate will be worth the inconvenience for thousands of New Yorkers who were planning to attend our rally on Thursday but will have to change their schedules to accommodate Secretary Clintons jam-packed, high-dollar, coast-to-coast schedule of fundraisers all over the country.
CNN invited Sanders and Clinton to the debate ahead of New Yorks April 19 Democratic Party primary election.
Sanders previously accepted NBCs invitation to a prime-time debate next Sunday but that date conflicted with Clintons heavy schedule of high-dollar fundraisers, including one on that date in Virginia.
Both the Sanders and Clinton campaigns agreed last January to hold an additional debate in April and another in May.
Sanders was in Wisconsin on Monday appearing at rallies in Milwaukee, Green Bay and Janesville ahead of Tuesdays primary.

OP
for Hillary you have to accommodate the rich people rather than the regular people.

or Hillary caved by doing it at all, since he wanted it all along, and she didn't.
