Harris to answer questions from undecided and persuadable Pennsylvania voters at CNN town hall

Source: CNN Politics

Published 4:00 AM EDT, Wed October 23, 2024


CNN — Vice President Kamala Harris will face questions from undecided and persuadable voters in Pennsylvania on Wednesday as she looks to capitalize in the key battleground state in the waning days of the presidential election.

The town hall, which will be moderated by CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, will feature a live audience in Aston, Pennsylvania, a township southwest of Philadelphia, and will air at 9 p.m. ET. The Democratic presidential nominee will field questions from audience members selected by CNN to participate in the event, according to a network spokesperson.

The audience of Pennsylvania voters will be composed of Democrats, Republicans and independents – all of whom confirmed they intend to vote in November and remain undecided or persuadable on the presidential candidate for whom they will cast a ballot. They were chosen from a pool of people identified by a nonpartisan research organization and CNN editorial producers working with local and state business groups, civic organizations, religious groups and universities, according to the network.

While Cooper will ask Harris some of the questions, the focus will be on questions from the voters. CNN did not edit nor offer any help in drafting the questions from audience members during the town hall, the network spokesperson said.

How can you be so stupid to be undecided at this point? Fascism or democracy? Hmmm. I am sure the Republican are planting “undecideds”

Instead of making blanket assumptions that are almost assuredly wrong and writing them off. Intentional ignorance isn't going to help us find a way to appeal to them.

People vote the way they do for myriad reasons. I personally know several people who are undecided and they don't all fit into your nice, neat little box. Some of them are long-term Republicans who won't vote for Trump and are deciding whether to vote for Harris or leave that line blank. Others blame "the government" and/or the inaction of Congress for all their troubles and don't differentiate between the parties. A couple wait until the last minute every election to consider their options and make a decision.

who "blame "the government" and/or the inaction of Congress for all their troubles and don't differentiate between the parties".

You understand why others might consider them poorly informed, right? I get incredibly frustrated that the least informed are those whose choice matters the most.

And yes, I know it's because of our stupid anachronism of a Constitution.

The contrast between both are so stark I cannot believe anyone is seriously undecided . I don’t play patsy with “undecideds” at this point. They will always move the goalposts.

"LOOK AT ME, I'M ON TV!!!!!!!"........can't wait for a gotcha question or three. She'll deftly handle them but the orange puke bucket never gets those questions due to how tightly his gaggle of ghouls that pose as campaign staff screen the questions.
