Beto’s Back! CNN Hosting Dem-Only Climate Town Hall For Candidates

CNN is inviting candidates who reach 2% support in at least four Democratic National Committee-approved polls.

Sen. Kamala Harris of California declined the invitation, citing a previous engagement, while Washington Gov. Jay Inslee has so far failed to meet the requirements. He is running exclusively on fighting climate change.

Candidates will take questions from a live studio audience in New York and a CNN moderator, according to CNN’s report.

The audience will be drawn from Democratic voters interested in the issue. The town hall comes after DNC Chairman Tom Perez said in June that the party will not hold a debate on global warming. [In poll after poll, climate change was a dead-last issue. It’s only a priority among far-left Democrats after healthcare and the economy and only during the summer. -CCD Ed.]

Perez said in a Medium post that month that climate change is just one of several high-priority issues, and that it would be unfair to host a debate revolving around it.

The DNC has not responded to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
