Over the past several months, many Democratic 2020 presidential candidates and progressive organizations have called for a climate change debate.
WASHINGTON – CNN announced Thursday that the network will hold a climate change town hall for Democratic 2020 presidential candidates — a move that comes after months of mounting pressure from the Democratic hopefuls and progressive organizations.
So far, former Vice President Joe Biden, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, California Sen. Kamala Harris, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren have all met the polling requirement, according to CNN's analysis.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee has also been one of the most outspoken candidates calling for a discussion focused solely on climate change. O'Rourke, Warren, Sanders, Obama Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro of Texas, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet have all endorsed such a forum.
In addition to CNN's town hall, MSNBC along with the Georgetown Institute of Politics and Public Service and Our Daily Planet, are planning to host a multi-day climate change forum with the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates, according to The Daily Beast.Justice Democrats, an organization that helped get Ocasio-Cortez elected, tweeted:"We won. Organizing works."
