Off the record, despite the lore that has developed, the debate schedule has always been about what the candidates wanted, and what the candidates agreed to. We will continue to be guided by that principle.

Fox says Clinton has not responded to their requests to set a date.
What is the DNC view of the status of the debate? And having approved it as part of the expanded schedule months ago, what is the DNC position on whether the debate should take place?
Thanks again

Hi Anne, off the record, there's just no update. Ultimately it depends on the candidates.

Hi Mark,
Could you please let me know whether the DNC still plans to hold a final debate?
Is time and place set? Have both campaigns agreed? If not, what is the delay in arranging this?
I'm told the broadcast host, Fox, has set the above date in San Francisco.
We plan to write something today.
Thanks
Anne
