A Democrat campaign adviser is accusing the Democratic National Committee of working out the upcoming presidential debate schedule to benefit Hillary Clinton and hurt her opponents. Business Insider,
The adviser, who requested anonymity in order to speak frankly about the party’s campaign arm, suggested the DNC is hosting a small number of debates in an attempt to give Clinton’s more low profile rivals “less screen time.” They also suggested the relatively late schedule of the debates will make it harder for Clinton’s lesser known opponents to introduce themselves to voters.
“Six is less than a bare minimum,” the adviser said.
The DNC announced its debate plans on Tuesday. It will sanction six debates beginning in the fall. and will bar candidates who participate from entering debates sponsored by other groups. According to the adviser, at least one of Clinton’s opponents asked for there to be more than six debates.
