Former President Donald Trump has backed out of an interview with “60 Minutes,” the most-watched newsmagazine in the United States, according to CBS News. CBS disclosed Trump’s change of plans on Tuesday evening, a few hours before the network is set to host a vice presidential debate between Trump’s running mate and Kamala Harris’ running mate.
For over half a century, 60 Minutes has invited the Democratic and Republican tickets to appear on their broadcast as Americans head to the polls. This year, both the Harris and Trump campaigns agreed to sit down with 60 Minutes. Trump committed first, followed by Harris, through campaign spokespeople, CBS said. Veteran correspondent Scott Pelley was lined up to interview Trump.
