BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – Bernie Sanders’ campaign is accusing Joe Biden of pushing for a sit-down format at the March 15 presidential primary debate in Phoenix, according to a new report that highlights mounting concerns over the 77-year-old former vice president’s stamina and cognitive ability.
Sanders’ team raised the alarm about the sit-down format during a call with CNN, which is set to moderate the debate along with the Democratic National Committee. All previous primary debates this cycle have required candidates to stand at podiums; and during his one-on-one debates with Hillary Clinton in 2016, Sanders stood alongside her. Sanders team also accused Biden of attempting to mobilize black people to support the former vice president, by requesting a few weeks ago that right before the Michigan primary, a debate be held in Detroit, hosted by Berry Gordy.
