Sen. Bernie Sanders has accepted a Fox News invitation for a Democratic debate in California, the Sanders campaign announced on Wednesday.
Both campaigns have been invited by Fox News to a debate. We have told the network that we would accept the invitation with the understanding that we can reach mutual agreement on the debate moderators, the format and other details, Jeff Weaver, Sanders campaign manager said in a statement.
Fox News has expressed interest in holding a Democratic debate for months and has been publicly lobbying the Democratic National Committee. In March, both Sanders and Clinton participated in back-to-back town halls with Fox host Bret Baier. On Tuesday, Fox News sent a formal letter to both campaigns inviting them to a debate, the Washington Post reported. The letters and the Sanders campaign's statements didn't specify a time or place, though Fox News said he debate would be moderated by anchors Megyn Kelly, Bret Baier and Chris Wallace, who have been roundly praised for their handling of three Republican debates.
Back in February the Clinton and Sanders campaigns agreed to extend the Democratic debate schedule by four more debates. Three have been held, but the final debate, to be held in California in May before the state's June 7 primary according to the agreement, didn't seem to be on anyone's mind as of last week. The public statement accepting the debate is similar to the public negotiation the Sanders and Clinton campaigns engaged in before the last Democratic debate, hosted by CNN in Brooklyn, which came together just ten days before the event. A Sanders adviser told POLITICO last week that they expected a similarly public debate about the debate to happen again.
"The DNC will continue to facilitate negotiations with both of our candidates," DNC spokesman Luis Miranda said in an email.
A Clinton campaign spokesperson and Fox News did not immediately respond to requests for

After seeing video of BS running down the democratic party I think it's best to pass on this debate.

He only has $6 million cash on hand, and a big rally would eat up about a third of it
