(CNN)Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton have agreed to meet for a Democratic debate on CNN and NY1 on April 14, five days before a crucial primary election in New York state.
The debate will take place in Brooklyn and will be moderated by CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer, who led two GOP debates earlier this election season.
CNN chief political correspondent Dana Bash and NY1 political anchor Errol Louis will join in the questioning of the candidates.
NY1 is the main 24-hour cable news channel in New York City. Both CNN and NY1 will carry the debate live from 9 to 11 p.m. Eastern.

Looks like April 14 is a go, it will be at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

At the end of January Sanders proposed a debate in NY before their primary, stating Brooklyn would be a good choice, happy to see this finally come together after two months!
Guess de Blasio came through with the offer to gain another permit on 4/13 and to help Clinton keep her fundraising schedule.
"MILWAUKEE – U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders on Monday accepted an invitation from CNN to debate Hillary Clinton in Brooklyn on April 14 before the New York Democratic Party primary election.
“Sen. Sanders has accepted another invitation to debate Hillary Clinton in New York. We are glad that she finally has agreed,” said Michael Briggs, Sanders’ spokesman. “Sanders all along has pressed for a debate on television in prime time so the greatest number of New Yorkers and Americans may listen to the candidates and decide for themselves who has the best ideas about how to reform our rigged economy and the corrupt campaign finance system. It’s great for the people of New York that there will be a debate in Brooklyn, something that the Clinton campaign has long opposed.
“Fortunately, we were able to move a major New York City rally scheduled for April 14 to the night before. We hope the debate will be worth the inconvenience for thousands of New Yorkers who were planning to attend our rally on Thursday but will have to change their schedules to accommodate Secretary Clinton’s jam-packed, high-dollar, coast-to-coast schedule of fundraisers all over the country.”
CNN invited Sanders and Clinton to the debate ahead of New York’s April 19 Democratic Party primary election.
Sanders previously accepted NBC’s invitation to a prime-time debate next Sunday but that date conflicted with Clinton’s heavy schedule of high-dollar fundraisers, including one on that date in Virginia.
Both the Sanders and Clinton campaigns agreed last January to hold an additional debate in April and another in May.
Sanders was in Wisconsin on Monday appearing at rallies in Milwaukee, Green Bay and Janesville ahead of Tuesday’s primary."
...Clinton.
Tonight was no good because of the NCAA tournament and "Syracuse was a participant" - even though Syracuse was eliminated on Saturday! 
April 14 was no good because they had a big rally planned, even though there have been no details released or actual time, an no formal announcement yet.
I presume April 15 was no good because Jane is still working on their income tax returns (did you hear that was his excuse for not releasing them yet?) 
They forgot that they originally proposed April 14 as the date for the New York debate (their press release is still on their website!!!!). I guess once they realized it was their idea in the first place they had to accept April 14 as the date.
He even made a smarmy comment yesterday about why Clinton had a problem with Brooklyn, only to be reminded that Clinton's Campaign Headquarters are located in Brooklyn!
Their campaign is looking more and more like Bubba Gump Shrimp every day!
one to catch up on that first year of the Revolution.. (The first Revolution, not the Sanders revolution)
