Nearly 40 Dem Senators Call For Climate Change Questions In Debates

"Almost 40 Democratic senators wrote to the Commission on Presidential Debates on Wednesday urging questions focused on climate change to be included in the presidential debates.

Their letter comes a day after the announcement of the first debate topics, which did not include climate change or other energy or environmental issues. The six topics that will be covered in the first debate, slated to take place Tuesday, are Trump's and Biden's records, the Supreme Court, COVID-19, the economy, “race and violence in our cities,” and election integrity.

The event will be moderated by Fox News’s Chris Wallace, who gets to choose his questions."
