The Democratic National Committee decided against a 2020 presidential primary debate devoted exclusively to the climate crisis.
"The Democratic Party needs the energy and motivation of young people to win in 2020," said Evan Weber, Sunrise Movement political director."The energy around this issue has been incredibly clear, yet Tom Perez keeps shooting the party in the foot by rejecting that energy and turning it away."
And he'd barred candidates from participating in any non-party event where candidates would appear on the same stage at the same time. An influential party committee had voted Thursday effectively to"encourage" candidates to ignore that rule. The vote Saturday by the full party committee struck down that language.
