Fox News offered to host a presidential debate, but the Kamala Harris campaign took a pass, and the night instead became a Donald Trump town hall. Why didn't Harris want to debate on Fox News?

CNN was going to host a debate on Wednesday night, but the Trump camp won't be there, so it will instead be a town hall with Harris. Imagine if there was going to be a debate tonight — the opening question would probably be about The Atlantic's bogus story about Trump and Hitler.

CNN media analyst Brian Stelter thought that was a great point.

She later accepted an invitation for a CNN town hall, which raised questions about the format and whether audience participation would be allowed.</p><p>Critics have noted that both events seem staged, with predetermined questions limiting genuine interaction.
