“The 2020 presidential election is one of the most consequential elections in our nations history, and we would be proud to host a debate here in Hartford,'' Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin said. "Hosting a presidential debate would give us an opportunity to highlight not only our progress and strength, but also our challenges, many of which will be front and center in the 2020 presidential campaign — from inequality to how we can create inclusive growth in a rapidly changing economy.”
