Clinton Calls For Another DNC-sanctioned Debate

WASHINGTON (AP)--Hillary Clinton says she wants the Democratic National Committee to add another presidential debate before the New Hampshire primary and urging Bernie Sanders to join her on stage.

Clinton says in a phone interview with MSNBC that she's "anxious" for another debate, adding, "let's try to make it happen." She says she wants DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the other campaigns to support another debate.

Sanders' campaign has said it has no plans to do so because the DNC hasn't sanctioned the debate. The Vermont senator's campaign has said it wouldn't want to jeopardize its participation in two debates planned for after the New Hampshire primary in Wisconsin and Florida.

The DNC has said it's sticking with its debate schedule.

Former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley supports adding another debate.
