Less than two hours after President Biden made his move Wednesday to upend the nation’s presidential debate tradition, two of CNN’s top political journalists were on the phone with Donald Trump’s high command.
“We are sending you a proposal for a debate that will be in your inbox at 10 a.m.,” one of them told the Trump senior leadership, Susie Wiles, Chris LaCivita and Tony Fabrizio, in a call, before rattling off the terms of a June 27 meeting in Atlanta, according to a person familiar with the conversation.
