Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., plans on continuing his presidential campaign -- despite the coronavirus outbreak keeping the candidate off the trail -- and that includes the next Democratic debate.
Fox News confirmed a New York Times report that Sanders will plan on attending any debate next month- if one occurs.
“If there is a debate in April, he plans to be there," a campaign spokesperson said.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) initially slated at least one debate in April though a date was never officially scheduled.
