Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders tentatively agree to four more debates

Agreement must be approved by Democratic National Committee
Clinton campaign chairman wants one debate in Flint, Michigan

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have agreed in principle to contest four more Democratic presidential primary debates.

Should the Democratic national committee sanction the move, the new schedule would begin with a proposed “unsanctioned” debate on 4 February in New Hampshire, hosted by the New Hampshire Union Leader and MSNBC.

Three more debates would then follow this spring, in a development that was first reported on Saturday by Buzzfeed.

The Clinton campaign’s chairman, John Podesta, said in a statement on Saturday one of the debates should be held in Flint. The Michigan city is still in the grip of a crisis over lead pollution in drinking water that has brought great pressure to bear on the state’s Republican governor, Rick Snyder.
