Stakes grow for Democrats ahead of sixth debate
0
Hillary Clinton will be scrambling to make up lost ground on Bernie Sanders in the sixth Democratic debate Thursday evening — yes, a rare weeknight debate.
After a close shave in Iowa and a double-digit loss in New Hampshire, Clinton will likely have her claws out even as her camp has tried to curb expectations ahead of the Feb. 20 Nevada caucuses. While many still believe Nevada is ripe for Clinton's taking due to its large number of minority voters who tend to support her, Sanders has upped his own rhetoric on race in recent days and could prove to once again be tough to beat.
The debate at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee begins 9 p.m. EST on PBS and CNN.
