NAFCU will monitor tonight's Democratic debate

NAFCU will monitor tonight's Democratic debate of presidential candidates being held in Milwaukee, Wis., on PBS and Saturday's Republican debate in Greenville, S.C., on CBS News. Both debates are set for 9 p.m. Eastern.

Tonight's debate is the first to follow the New Hampshire primaries, where Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., won the Democrats with 60 percent of the vote to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's 38.3 percent, and Donald Trump won the Republicans with 35.3 percent. The Republican runner-up was Ohio Gov. John Kasich with 15.8 percent.

The next votes are the Nevada Democratic caucus and the South Carolina Republican primary, both on Feb. 20. The state of Washington will also hold a Republican caucus the same day. After that, Nevada will hold a Republican caucus Feb. 23 and South Carolina will hold a Democratic primary Feb. 27.

Credit unions watching both debates can follow NAFCU for updates at @NAFCU on Twitter or by using the hashtag #DemDebate for the Democratic debate and #GOPDebate for the Republican debate.
