Harris to be interviewed, Trump declines "60 Minutes" election special

Source: CBS News

Updated on: October 1, 2024 / 8:12 PM EDT

A "60 Minutes" candidate hour will feature only Vice President Kamala Harris after former President Donald Trump, who'd previously agreed to be on the show, decided not to participate in the Monday, Oct. 7 special.

"For over half a century, '60 Minutes' has invited the Democratic and Republican tickets to appear on our broadcast as Americans head to the polls," "60 Minutes" said in a statement.

"This year, both the Harris and Trump campaigns agreed to sit down with 60 Minutes. Vice President Harris will speak with correspondent Bill Whitaker. After initially accepting 60 Minutes' request for an interview with Scott Pelley, former President Trump's campaign has decided not to participate.

Pelley will address this Monday evening. Our election special will broadcast the Harris interview on Monday as planned. Our original invitation to former President Donald Trump to be interviewed on 60 Minutes stands." Harris and Trump only debated each other once and have no other debates planned before the Nov. 5 election.

In fact, Trump will limit his engagement to Fox, OAN, RSN, or whatever psuedo-RW network comes along.
