Politics – Clinton declines debate with Sanders in California

Hillary Clinton’s top campaign spokeswoman said Monday that Clinton will not debate Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in California; Sanders had agreed to participate in the Fox News debate. Clinton’s refusal to participate in the debate suggests that her campaign is fully focusing on the general election against presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump. “As we have said previously, we plan to compete hard in the remaining primary states, particularly California, while turning our attention to the threat a Donald Trump presidency poses,” Jennifer Palmieri, Clinton’s spokeswoman, said.
