FLINT- The water crisis is bringing the democratic candidates to Michigan. 

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders will debate each other in Flint on March 6 on the heels of the contaminated water crisis that has garnered national media attention.

The debate was confirmed in a statement released by Democratic National Committee Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

Details on the debate will be released at a later date. It comes just two days before the Michigan primary election on March 8.

The Clinton campaign called for a debate Jan. 30 in the city that is currently in the national spotlight due to its water crisis.

“We should use the spotlight of the presidential campaign to keep the focus on Flint, and to lift up the historic underlying issues that Flint and too many other predominately low-income communities of color across America are struggling with every day,” Clinton campaign chair John Podesta said.

The announcement of a debate in Flint comes after a tight race in Iowa that saw Clinton barely defeat Sanders for the first contest of the 2016 race. Both candidates have made comments on the Flint water situation during the race.

Sanders has gone as far as to call for Gov. Rick Snyder to resign over the city’s water crisis.

“There are no excuses. The governor long ago knew about the lead in Flint’s water. He did nothing. As a result, hundreds of children were poisoned. Thousands may have been exposed to potential brain damage from lead. Gov. Snyder should resign,” said Sanders in a statement on his website.

The announcement comes just days after federal officials’ testimony to a U.S. House Committee on the city’s water crisis.

“America has witnessed the man-made public health disaster inflicted upon the city of Flint, and we applaud Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders for their efforts to shine a light on the crisis, especially when our Republican governor has done everything he can to keep Michigan’s citizens in the dark,” said Michigan Democratic Party Chair Brandon Dillon. “Holding a presidential debate in Flint will bring further into focus the issues faced by working families here in Michigan and around the country.”
