Summary
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2:
4:05pm- Marc Lotter—Chief Communications Officer for the America First Policy Institute & former Press Secretary to the Vice President of the United States—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to preview Thursday’s presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Lotter notes, according to polling, Trump is starting to pull away from Biden—could tonight’s debate ultimately amount to a knockout blow? Plus, Santa Ana City Council is now asking voters to decide whether noncitizens should be permitted to participate in local elections. The America First Policy Institute recently filed a lawsuit to prevent undocumented migrants from voting in elections.
4:30pm- Ross Connolly—Northeast Regional Director of Americans for Prosperity—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy’s plan to hold a fundraiser for President Joe Biden. Americans for Prosperity is holding a rally to “welcome” President Biden to Garden State and, in the process, make it clear that Bidenomics is not working for Americans.

4:45pm- Steven Nelson and Diana Glebova of The New York Post, write: “The White House Correspondents’ Association blasted CNN on Thursday in a last-ditch attempt to expand access to the evening’s first presidential debate of 2024 to reporters outside the network. The debate between President Biden and former President Donald Trump was brokered by the campaigns and will be different from past showdowns in its lack of an audience and the muting of microphones when a speaker’s time is up. The move means TV viewers may entirely miss off-mic remarks and that coverage will be limited to what CNN cameras show at the time—with CNN moderators Dana Bash and Jake Tapper expected to be the only journalists in the room if there is other related significant news to tell. Reps for both Biden, 81, and Trump, 78, said it would be OK to allow the daily White House press pool to observe the face-off, but CNN allegedly refused. The Atlanta-based cable news outlet has instead relegated journalists unaffiliated with CNN to another building.” You can read the full article here: https://nypost.com/2024/06/27/us-news/wh-correspondents-slam-cnn-for-excluding-outside-press-from-biden-trump-debate/
