Sanders and Clinton camps in talks for New York debate

The Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton campaigns are in talks to schedule another Democratic debate before the New York primary.

"There are private conversations happening, so there will likely be an announcement in the next few days about a new debate," a Clinton campaign senior adviser said Wednesday. Chief Sanders strategist Tad Devine confirmed that discussions are taking place between the rival camps.

The prospect of an additional debate comes after a full-throated push by the Sanders campaign to hold a debate ahead of the high-stakes April 19 primary. In a letter dated March 27, Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver wrote to Clinton counterpart Robby Mook calling for the addition of a debate in New York before Democratic voters go to the polls there.

"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," Weaver wrote.

On Tuesday, Sanders' team sent out a fundraising email urging supporters to add their name to the letter, and operatives for the campaign griped about the Clinton campaign's refusal to agree to another debate online.

He's lying outright about it. http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/02/politics/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-debates/index.html

Sanders' campaign has been calling for a debate before the state's April 19 primary since last week. While Clinton's campaign declined to commit initially, her aides have been working with the Democratic National Committee behind the scenes to solidify a date.

Brian Fallon, Clinton's national press secretary, said Saturday that Clinton's campaign offered to debate Sanders on April 4, 14 and 15, all of which were rejected.

"The Sanders campaign needs to stop with the games," Fallon said. "Over the course of the last week, we have offered three specific dates for a debate in New York, all of which the Sanders campaign rejected."
