CNN to host first 'drive-in town hall' with Biden on Thursday
By Joe Concha - 09/17/20 02:44 PM EDT
CNN says it will host a "drive-in town hall" with Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Thursday night, which the network calls "the latest adaptation to campaigning during the coronavirus pandemic."
The former vice president will take questions from voters in the parking lot of PNC Field in Moosic, Pa., starting at 8 p.m.
"Thirty-five cars will file into the parking lot, where a stage and monitors have been set up, and audience members and cars will be spaced out to comply with social distancing guidelines," said Kate Lunger, the vice president of CNN's special events team.
"There will be about 100 people in attendance at PNC Field, which is the home of the minor league baseball team the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. The event location is a short drive from Biden's childhood home in Scranton, Pennsylvania," CNN's announcement adds.
Anchor Anderson Cooper will moderate.
