Hillary Clinton told ABC in an interview published Monday morning that she would participate in a debate hosted by the network’s morning program “Good Morning America” to air on April 15.

“I want a debate,” Clinton told host George Stephanopoulos. “I’m confident that we can work out a time to do that.”

Clinton said something similar on an appearance on “Meet The Press” on Sunday.

Clinton’s campaign has sparred recently with the campaign Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) as the campaigns attempt to reach an agreement for a debate in New York ahead of the state’s primary.

“‘GMA’ offered a debate during ‘GMA’ on Friday the 15th. I’ll be there,” Clinton said. “I think it’s a great opportunity to reach an audience that may not always be able because of other obligations to tune in to debates.”

The Sanders campaign had not accepted the invitation as of press time.
