DETROIT – Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders will hold a debate March 6 in the city of Flint, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) announced Wednesday.

The debate in Flint is one of three new DNC-sanctioned debates. The other two will take place in April and May with times and locations to be determined.

"Our debates have set viewership records because of our candidates’ ideas, energy, and the strength of their vision to build on the progress we’ve made over the last seven years. We look forward to seeing them continuing to share Democrats' vision for the country," said DNC Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

Clinton narrowly defeated Sanders in Monday's Iowa caucuses but Sanders has a solid lead in New Hampshire. It will be the first debate since former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley dropped out of the race, leaving just Clinton and Sanders competing for the nomination.
