Politico reports that the Bernie Sanders campaign fought an attempt by CBS—the network hosting tonight’s Democratic debate—to focus more on foreign policy, due to yesterday’s terrorist attacks in Paris. The suggestion by CBS occurred during a conference call with the three campaigns participating in tonight’s debate. Sanders’s campaign was concerned that cutting back on opening remarks would hurt his ability to introduce himself to Americans.
