8 Democratic presidential candidates will participate in CNN climate town hall
CNNNine Democratic candidates for president have qualified for next month's Climate Crisis Town Hall, which will air exclusively on CNN platforms, and eight of them have said they will participate.
CNN is devoting the evening of Sept. 4 to the climate crisis. Eight of the Democratic candidates have accepted CNN's invitation to discuss this critically important issue: former Vice President Joe Biden; Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey; South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg; Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota; former Rep. Beto O'Rourke of Texas; Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont; Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts; and businessman Andrew Yang.
Citing a scheduling conflict, Sen. Kamala Harris of California declined CNN's invitation.
CNN anchors Erin Burnett, Anderson Cooper, Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon will moderate individual candidate segments, and CNN Chief Climate Correspondent Bill Weir will join in the questioning throughout the event.
...snip...
Candidates have until Wednesday to qualify for this town hall. CNN will extend invitations to Democratic presidential hopefuls who reach 2% in at least four Democratic National Committee-approved polls conducted between June 28 and Aug. 21.

A why is criticizing an opponent's different (and presumably inferior) plan a problem?

(747 posts)5. Oh, a Town Hall.
Well, that's different. /s
Personally, I'd rather hear about a candidate's positions than his critique of his opponent's position.

they should get at least 40 seconds to tell us how they're going to combat climate change instead of just 30 seconds.
