CNN on-air, 7-8 pm ET, today, Friday: Sanders campaign furious over last-minute Debate changes. (Hillary Group) [View all]

As I understand from viewing on-air, CNN called all three candidates and notified them that the debate plan would be changed in order to focus on the terror attacks in Paris.

Clinton and O'Malley were fine, but the Sanders campaign apparently raised quite a ruckus. Bernie apparently had his plan and wanted to stick to it. The focus on foreign issues, of course, is no problem for the former Secretary of State.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out on CBS, starting at 9:00.
