| WASHINGTON — The Democratic National Committee has moved Sunday’s planned presidential debate between former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and Senator Bernie Sanders from Phoenix to Washington because of concerns about the coronavirus, the D.N.C. announced Thursday. | |
| A spokeswoman for the committee, Xochitl Hinojosa, said the debate, to be broadcast on CNN, would take place at the cable network’s Washington studio. The Democratic Party had already announced that the event would take place with no live audience or an assembled press corps. | |
| Ms. Hinojosa also said that the Univision anchor Jorge Ramos, one of the debate’s moderators, would not participate now because he “was in proximity with someone who was in direct contact with a person that tested positive for coronavirus.” | |
| Mr. Ramos will be replaced by another Univision anchor, Ilia Calderón, Ms. Hinojosa said. | |
