Sunday’s Democratic presidential debate is being moved from Arizona to Washington, D.C. amid the spread of coronavirus
Sunday’s Democratic presidential debate is being moved from Arizona to Washington, D.C. "out of an abundance of caution" over the spread of coronavirus, the Democratic National Committee announced Thursday.
“Out of an abundance of caution and in order to reduce cross-country travel, all parties have decided that the best path forward is to hold Sunday’s debate at CNN’s studio in Washington, D.C., with no live audience,” DNC communications director Xochitl Hinojosa said in a statement.The debate, the first one-on-one clash between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, was originally scheduled to be held in Phoenix, Ariz.
The coronavirus is also shaking up the moderating panel for the debate. Hinojosa announced that Univision’s Jorge Ramos “was in direct contact with a person that tested positive for coronavirus” and will not be participating in Sunday's debate. “Both Mr. Ramos and the person he was in contact with are in good health and symptom free,” Hinojosa continued. “Despite being cleared by medical professionals and out of an abundance of caution, Jorge has decided to step aside from participating in the upcoming March 15 democratic debate.”
