Torrance Is in Running to Be Site of Debates
Torrance is in the running to host nationally televised debates between presidential candidates just before next June’s California primary election.
The Torrance League of Women Voters said the league’s Washington staff will decide shortly which city will host the separate debates by Democratic and Republican presidential contenders.
The event, tentatively set for June 4 and 5, will come only days before the last presidential primary elections.
Debate coordinator Cindi Hammond said Torrance is the only California city seeking the pre-primary debate in June.
