Third Democratic Primary Debate

The third debate occurred on December 19, 2015, in Goffstown, New Hampshire at St. Anselm College. It aired on ABC News and was moderated by journalist David Muir, anchor of “World News Tonight”, and Chief Global Affairs Correspondent Martha Raddatz. On December 11, 2015, the DNC had announced that it would revoke the sponsorship of the debate by WMUR-TV because of a labor dispute with its unionized employees. The topics covered during the debate included Sanders' campaign's breach of Clinton's campaign data, strategy for defeating ISIS, gun control, the issue of whether to depose President Assad of Syria, if Wall Street favored each candidate, stability in the Middle East enforced by dictators and whether regime change was necessary, and the role of the First Spouse.
