Hours before the Republican presidential candidates take the debate stage in Ohio, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) announced its primary debate schedule, with the first debate to take place on Oct 13 in Nevada, and to be hosted by CNN.
For those keeping track, the number of debates is not a surprise. The DNC announced back in June that it would sanction six presidential debates. At the time, DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said in a statement the debates would begin in the fall of 2015 “when voters are truly beginning to pay attention.”
“Our debate schedule will not only give Democratic voters multiple opportunities to size up the candidates for the nomination side-by-side," she said, "but will give all Americans a chance to see a unified Democratic vision of economic opportunity and progress – no matter whom our nominee may be.”
