There will be no live audience at the debate. FMTNews Biden Sanders Debate
WASHINGTON: Frontrunner Joe Biden and a fading Bernie Sanders will meet Sunday night in Washington in their first head-to-head televised debate in a Democratic primary overshadowed by the coronavirus pandemic.
Also voting Tuesday in the Democrats’ nomination marathon are Florida, Ohio and Illinois, three of the country’s most populous states, with large troves of Democratic delegates. Another difficulty: The pandemic has sharply raised the pressure for the parties to come together to craft urgent solutions; Biden often touts his own ability to reach across the aisle to forge compromise.
He holds double-digit polling leads in all four states voting Tuesday – even a 40-point advantage in Florida. Sanders admitted having, at least for now, lost the fight on the key question of electability: He had failed to draw new young voters to widen the party’s base, as he had often promised to do.
