Yup. But worth entertaining to keep us on television.

Boy, they are laying it on thick.

I don't really think this makes sense. The RNC would never do an MSNBC debate for the same reason that we shouldn't do this one.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Chair, Democratic National Committee

Washington, DC

Dear Ms. Schultz:

First of all, thank you for granting interviews in recent weeks to Fox News journalists, particularly Megyn Kelly, Bret Baier and Chris Wallace. As you know, these are the anchors who were widely praised – by Democrats
and Republicans alike - for their fair but rigorous questioning in a series of GOP presidential primary debates dating back to August in Cleveland, the very first debate of the 2016 cycle.

Would you be amenable to those same respected journalists now bringing that same fairness and rigor to a final debate of the 2016 cycle? Fox would very much like your blessing to host a Democratic presidential primary debate
before the last batch of states hold their elections on June 7. We propose that it be in California, the largest state in the union, since there has not been a Democratic debate there this cycle.

Given that the race is still contested, and given that you sanctioned a final trio of debates, the last of which has not yet been held, we believe a final debate would be an excellent opportunity for the candidates to,
as you said when you announced these debates, “share Democrats’ vision for the country.”

As part of this final debate, we invite you to take some time to speak directly to the nation through the cameras of Fox News. You could use this time to make whatever remarks you like, perhaps as a way of bringing closure
to this long and robust primary process. These remarks could be taped or live.

Also, at the risk of pushing our luck, we would very much like to interview you on Fox before and/or after the debate. As Chair of the party, your insights would be most instructive to our considerable audience. Perhaps
you could also recommend other Democratic officials who might be featured as part of our extensive coverage both before and after the debate.

Fox has not hosted a Democratic debate in 12 years. By ending that dry spell, I believe the Democratic candidates could reach a vast audience on the eve of the shift to the general election.

Thanks so much for considering this request. And please know that you are always welcome at Fox.

Sincerely,

Bill Sammon

Vice President of News

Washington Managing Editor
