The Democratic National Committee has voted against allowing 2020 candidates to participate in single-issue debates, including on the issue of the climate crisis
The language that was rejected -- inserted at the behest of climate change activists during a contentious Resolutions Committee meeting on Thursday -- said the DNC,"will continue to encourage candidates to participate in multi-candidate issue-specific forums with the candidates appearing on the same stage, engaging one another in discussion."Democratic presidential candidates are barred from appearing together on stage outside of DNC-sanctioned debates.
"Climate change is an existential crisis that threatens all of us—and we need to take bold action now to stop it before it's too late," she wrote."That's why we need to have a #ClimateDebate."A resolution that called for a Climate Crisis debate outright was also rejected in committee on Thursday. It had the support of more than 60 DNC members.
