The Libertarian presidential and vice presidential candidates, Gary Johnson and Bill Weld, are continuing to take their third party message to channels that in the past have not spent much time covering candidates that weren't Republicans or Democrats.
On Wednesday, August 3, CNN will host a Libertarian presidential town hall in primetime at 9 p.m. Johnson and Weld will field questions from voters, and Anderson Cooper will moderate.
It will be the second town hall CNN has hosted with Libertarian candidates this year. The channel previously hosted a town hall featuring Johnson and Weld back in June. Fox Business Network, which has significantly less distribution than CNN, hosted a Libertarian party debate before the candidates were selected.
For CNN, the town hall also gives some exclusive programming during a month that can be slow for cable news, even in an election year.
Poster Comment:
Anderson Cooper isn't a libertarian, but neither are Gary Johnson and Bill Weld.
