Inslee, a candidate who is tying his entire platform to climate, penned a letter on Medium in April to his fellow 2020 Democrats asking them to call on the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to hold a climate debate.
“We have barely a decade to defeat climate change. And whether we shrink to this challenge, or rise to it, is the central question of our time — and it deserves a full DNC debate,” Inslee wrote.
The Sierra Club, Credo, MoveOn.Org and other environmental groups have also called for a debate with the singular focus.
Climate change has risen to the top as a major issue for likely Democratic voters. A poll last week also found the issue has risen to prominence amongst all voters.
Warren has championed an ambitious plan to attack global warming. She’s backed the progressive climate action plan The Green New Deal in the Senate and has also introduced two of her own policy plans that touch on curbing carbon emissions.
The first Democratic debate will be held at the end of June in Miami.
