This commentary is from ³ÉÈËXÕ¾ Newsradio listener Scott Scowcroft regarding his proposal to get the presidential candidates and their policies on full display one final time.

I guess a second won’t happen again this year, and that’s too bad. The American public deserves to see Harris and Trump one more time, side-by-side on one stage, answering tough questions and describing why each believes they would make the better president.

With that in mind, I think Kamala should propose the next best thing — separate interviews. One for herself and one for her opponent. But not just any interview. These interviews would need to be monumental. Something worthy of the most critical election in our lifetime. Interviews for the ages.

For example, imagine the three flagship Sunday morning news programs — Kamala should invite all three anchors to serve as co-hosts, right there on one stage to the nation and worldwide, simulcasting live across all three networks.

The three most prestigious news interview programs in America united in a single event. It would be unprecedented. It would give the American people one more chance to make an informed judgment not only based on policies but also on the character and leadership qualities of each candidate.

A live event with no restrictions on questions, follow-ups and the possibility of real-time fact-checking? If the three networks take up Harris’s challenge for a no-holes-barred interview, the American people will win regardless if Trump accepts or declines.

In either case, America will see him for who he really is.
