You knew this was coming. They never expected Trump to accept the invitation to debate Biden under Biden’s set conditions, but they’ve changed the game entirely.
BREAKING: CNN will implement a 1-2 minute delay for tonight’s presidential debate instead of the standard 7-second delay, potentially allowing time to edit parts of the broadcast.
This will allow CNN to edit out Biden gaffes or freezes.
- There will be no reporters from the White House travel pool
scoop: The White House Correspondents’ Association says it’s “deeply concerned” that CNN “has rejected our repeated requests to include the White House travel pool inside the studio.” The full statement: pic.twitter.com/qe3Y8Austz

BREAKING: White House press corps has petitioned CNN to open up the debate studio to reporters, who for now have to watch a feed from a building across the street, b/c they believe there may be a “medical emergency” involving one of the prez candidates requiring on-scene coverage
Hmmm
- CNN issued a statement saying the questions have not been leaked to Biden in advance.
CNN assured former President Donald Trump’s campaign that no questions have been leaked to President Joe Biden ahead of the debate years after doing so to Hillary Clinton in 2016, the campaign’s national press secretary said.
The network’s former contributor, Donna Brazile, leaked CNN town hall questions to Clinton’s campaign in 2016, leading the network to part ways with her. Karoline Leavitt, the National Press Secretary for former President Donald Trump’s campaign, said they have reached out to CNN to ensure the questions have not once again been leaked to the Democratic nominee.
This changes everything. Had Trump simply showed up and remained calm, he would wipe the floor with Biden. This new set of conditions allows CNN to manipulate everything in favor of Biden and we have no way of knowing.
If I’m Trump, either you broadcast it live and allow at least one pool reporter or I walk.
