TRUMP CAMPAIGN INCREASES FIREPOWER IN EARLY VOTING, WEEKS TO BEGIN
The Trump campaign also suggested a list of proposed moderators from which the commission could choose. The list of two-dozen people included a number of anchors from Fox News and Fox Business Network.
“Simply put, the Commission’s current approach is an outdated dinosaur and not reflective of voting realities in 2020,” Rudy Giuliani argued in the letter.
The former mayor of New York City and failed 2008 Republican presidential candidate who joined the president’s legal team in 2018 is Trump Crusade’s representative.
“For a country that is already at the disadvantage of a classic crossover calendar due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, it makes no sense to deprive so many Americans of the opportunity to see and hear two long-term competitive visions of our country in the face of millions of votes being cast,” Giuliani said.
Andrew Bates of Biden’s campaign said in response to the request: “We have said from the beginning, adding a letter to the committee in June, that Joe Biden will appear on the dates the commission has decided and in the places it has chosen. Donald Trump has not, continually seeking to insert his selection of friendly moderators, now adding the one just published by an editorial proposing “the case” of Trump’s re-election. Joe Biden will be there. We’re waiting for Donald Trump’s resolution, and maybe the president deserves to spend as much time managing COVID as he does.”
Fox News has contacted the CPD for feedback, but has still gotten a response.
The request for Trump’s crusade is no surprise. The crusade in recent days has raised its rhetoric by seeking previous debates or further confrontations.
TRUMP CALLS FOR DATE FOR FIRST PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE TO WITHDRAW
“We need the debates to start earlier,” Trump’s re-election crusade manager Bill Stepien said Monday in an interview on “Fox and Friends.”
Stepien, who took over the crusade last month after a leadership reorganization, noted that by the time of the first debate on September 29, “16 states will have already voted.”
And the president, in a wide-ranging interview Wednesday about “Fox and Frifinishs,” said that “the challenge I have, the debate is very late. It is the end of September and many votes will already be cast at that time.”
“Why did they put the first debate so late? The first debate took a position before the first, at least before the first vote. And they gave it to him a month later, almost a month later. It’s ridiculous,” Trump added.
Discussions planned through the canopy of the CPD around the same time they took up the 2012 and 2016 presidential election cycles, when face-to-face voting and absentee voting also began in many states.
Biden’s crusade has been continuously involved in the 3 discussions presented through the committee, although some experts suggest that they be forgotten. The time and third prime-time showdown are scheduled for October 15 and 22, with a vice presidential debate on October 7.
Biden’s wife, former girl Jill Biden, when asked Tuesday on Fox News on Fox News “The Daily Briefing with Dana Perino” if her husband would participate in the three debates, replied, “Oh, yes, I think they’ve said it before.” .
And on Monday, in an appearance in the American newsroom at Fox News, Biden’s deputy editor-in-chief Kate Bedingfield said, “There’s a candidate in this race who has accepted three debates and that’s Joe Biden.”
Trump’s crusade press releases director Erin Perrine appears to have the first spokesman for Trump’s crusade to officially say the president accepted the three debates when she told fox News’s press room in the United States on Tuesday that “yes, we agree with the discussion committee.”
After Fox News followed the Trump campaign, a re-election official said, “We’ve had those three debates and one before that.
Eight states begin mailing ballots more than forty-five days before the election. These come with Arkansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, West Virginia and Wisconsin. Another fifteen states begin sending ballots forty-five days before the election. These states are Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, and Wyoming.
This means that many voters in nearly a portion of the states, adding primary battlefields in Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, as well as in Minnesota, Georgia, and Texas, will get votes by mail before the calendar moves to October.
Separately, early voting or in-person mail voting begins in mid-September in 8 states, the Battlefields of Michigan and Minnesota.
