Analyst warns Supreme Court could blow up Biden/Trump debate

At the tail end of a CNN "State of the Union" panel on the upcoming presidential debate the network will be hosting on Thursday night, one analyst said all the speculation by political observers and planning by the two candidate's campaign staff could be tossed out the window by a Supreme Court ruling.

According to CNN analyst Jamal Simmons, the long-delayed ruling on whether Donald Trump should be afforded blanket immunity for criminal acts is still pending and could be delivered just hours before President Joe Biden and convicted felon Donald Trump take the stage in Atlanta.

"Here's one thing that we haven't talked about," Simmons proposed. "We might have a Supreme Court decision on Thursday, right? A couple of them and that might blow the entire debate coverage, like, really up."

"You have a water balloon full of kerosene that lands on this debate. that can either happen Thursday and now they've extended it to Friday, could happen Friday," he added.

"Yeah, the decision on immunity, which could be huge," CNN host Kaitlan Collins interjected.
