DNC rejects climate debate

Ecowatch -The Democratic National Committee voted down a resolution calling for an official, party-sanctioned debate on the climate crisis, ABC News reported. Activists have been leaning on the party to sanction such a debate as part of the 2020 Democratic primary, but DNC's resolutions committee voted 17-8 Thursday against the measure authored by Washington State Democratic Chair Tina Powdowlaski.
