Democrats Say No 2020 Fox News Debate After New Yorker Exposé
The Democratic National Committee will not hold any of its dozen planned debates for the 2020 presidential primary on Fox News, chairman Tom Perez announced Wednesday.
Last month, the DNC chair said the committee was actively in discussions about holding a Fox News-hosted debate and that the network had reportedly submitted a detailed plan about doing so, emphasizing how the network handled a large amount of candidates in the Republican presidential primary last cycle.
Despite some activist pushback at even the possibility of Fox involvement in a debate, it was Jane Mayer’s exposé this week in The New Yorker that pushed Perez to make this decision.
