CNN Tries for Trump-Harris Town Halls After Debate Pitch Fails
CNN waved the white flag on Thursday, acknowledging it likely would not host another presidential debate this cycle. Instead, it’s trying for the second-best option: a town hall.
The network extended invites to both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris on Thursday for a late-October town hall after Trump missed the deadline to RSVP to their request that he participate in a debate.
“We continue to believe the American people would benefit from hearing more from the two major candidates for President of the United States and so CNN has extended invitations to both Vice President Harris and President Trump’s campaigns to participate in separate CNN Town Halls on October 23,” the network said in a Thursday statement.
