Yes, Kamala Harris Is Appearing on CBS’ ‘60 Minutes’, but Donald Trump Isn’t By ’s unexpected withdrawal from the upcoming 60 Minutes interview has sparked discussion, while is set to move forward with her appearance. The decision, though initially unclear, has shifted attention toward Harris as the sole candidate in the election special. With the election approaching, Trump’s absence has left many speculating about its impact on the final weeks of the campaign.
Here’s a closer look at what this means for both candidates and the ongoing race. Kamala Harris confirmed to appear on CBS’ ‘60 Minutes’ Vice President Kamala Harris will be the sole presidential candidate appearing on CBS’ 60 Minutes election special on October 7, 2024, after former President Donald Trump withdrew from the interview. Both campaigns had initially agreed to participate in the show, but Trump’s campaign later declined, citing unresolved issues from a previous interview in 2020.
Despite Trump’s absence, CBS has confirmed the special will air as planned, featuring Harris’ interview with correspondent Bill Whitaker. Trump’s decision to withdraw centers on his demand for an apology from CBS regarding its handling of the Hunter Biden laptop story during the 2020 election. At a recent press conference, he stated he would not participate in 60 Minutes unless an apology was issued.
His campaign also mentioned concerns over CBS’ insistence on live fact-checking, which they claimed.
