CLINTON AND SANDERS FACE OFF ONE-ON-ONE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THURSDAY’S MSNBC DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES DEBATE

Chuck Todd and Rachel Maddow Moderate Live from 9-11 p.m. ET at the University of New Hampshire in Durham

FEBRUARY 3, 2016 — Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont are confirmed to debate one-on-one for the first time in the MSNBC Democratic Candidates Debate on Thursday, February 4, just five days before Granite State voters go to the polls.  

The DNC-sanctioned event upholds the longstanding tradition of a post-Iowa debate in New Hampshire and will be the presidential candidates’ only face-to-face meeting following the Iowa caucuses and before the first-in-the-nation primary.

Chuck Todd, moderator of NBC’s “Meet the Press” and host of MSNBC’s “MTP Daily,” and Rachel Maddow, host of MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show,” will moderate the debate live from 9-11 p.m. ET at the University of New Hampshire in Durham.  

The debate will air live on MSNBC and stream live online at MSNBC.com and NBCNews.com.   Follow @MSNBC on social media and join the conversation online with the hashtag #DemDebate.

Debate night coverage kicks off at 7 p.m. ET with a special edition of “Hardball with Chris Matthews” followed by an 8 p.m. ET pre-show anchored by Brian Williams.  Matthews will anchor post-debate coverage and analysis beginning at 11 p.m. ET live from the spin room.
