Sanders gears up for tough questions at third Democratic debate
  • 8 years ago
The Democratic presidential candidates are meeting for their third debate Saturday, with tensions suddenly boiling between Hillary Clinton and her chief rival, Bernie Sanders. Revelations that campaign workers for Sanders improperly accessed voter data compiled by the Clinton campaign have thrown a wild card into a debate that was shaping up to be centered on national security. Already, Sanders had been struggling to get airtime for his economic-focused message when others are talking about keeping the country safe after the deadly terrorist attacks in Paris and California. Now, he also must answer charges about his campaign. In a jarring departure from what had been a genteel contest, the Clinton team is accusing the Sanders campaign of stealing information about potential voters worth millions of dollars.
