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.

Sounds like a real high energy event.  Huge in fact.  It should put anything the bad Orange man does to shame in the attendance numbers.  Go Joe Go.   Run Joe Run.

What she didn't add was that as each car enters, the driver and occupants will be given a sheet with their questions to be asked, and in what order they'll be called...
