After winning a trio of states over the weekend, Sanders on Sunday called for
a debate in New York ahead of that state's April 19 primary. The
Vermont senator is looking to cut into Clinton's delegate lead and says
he has the "momentum" heading into the latter half of the race.
The
pair faced off in a Miami debate earlier this month, and a Sanders
campaign letter on Sunday said the two campaigns had agreed to a
California debate in May but had not agreed to terms on a debate in
April, according to The New York Times.
"What's the risk?" CNN's Kate Bolduan asked Monday, pressing multiple times about agreeing to a debate in New York.
"There's no risk. She's done very well in the debates," Benenson responded.
"Sen.
Sanders doesn't get to decide when we debate, particularly when he's
running a very negative campaign against us," he continued.
"Let's
see if he goes back to the kind of tone he said he was going to set
early on. If he does that, then we'll talk about debates," Benenson
added.
