Sanders is holding a rally in the South Bronx today, after Hillary held one in Harlem’s Apollo theater yesterday. Sanders also invited Clinton to hold a debate with him in the Big Apple, but Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager told CNN that while a debate is on the table, it really depends on Sanders’s “tone.” “Let’s see if he goes back to the kind of tone he said he was going to set early on. If he does that, then we’ll talk about debates.”

But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
