Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ campaign manager, told the New York Times that Sanders won’t participate in an unsanctioned debate for fear that he would be barred from future official debates.

A spokeswoman for Clinton, told the Union-Leader that the former secretary of state would be “happy to participate in a debate in New Hampshire if the other candidates agree, which would allow the DNC to sanction the debate.”

The DNC said in a Tuesday statement that the party will not sanction the Feb. 4 debate planned by MSNBC and the Union-Leader.
