The Democratic National Committee voted Saturday to reject single-issue presidential candidate debates over topics including climate change.
DNC members voted down a resolution which would have allowed 2020 presidential candidates to attend debates devoted to one specific topic, a piece of language which was inserted by climate change activists at a controversial Resolutions Committee last Thursday. As it stands, the Democratic Party presidential candidates are not allowed to appear together on stage outside of official DNC-sanctioned debates.
"The DNC concluded that it should not hold debates devoted to one specific topic, nor can it agree to requests for such debates by individual presidential candidates," reads the text which was approved by the committee but conflicted with the Thursday resolution. "This decision is as baffling as it is alarming. Our planet is burning— the least we can do as a party is debate what to do about it,"Saturday, responding to a reporter's remark it's"not at all a shock there will be no DNC climate debate."
