CHAPIN, S.C. (AP) — Donald Trump says he is pulling out of a scheduled September debate with Vice President Kamala Harris on ABC and wants them to face off on Fox News, making it increasingly unlikely that the candidates will confront each other on stage before the November election.  In a series of Truth Social posts late Friday, the Republican nominee and former president said his agreement to a Sept. 10 debate on ABC “has been terminated” because he will no longer face Democratic President Joe Biden, who ended his campaign last month after a disastrous performance in their...

Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

CBS News plans to turn CBS Evening News into a man’s world. The network announced Thursday it would install John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois as the anchors of Evening News after O’Donnell departs the program following the election. Weatherman Lonnie Quinn will become the show’s chief weathercaster, and though the show will return to New York, it will feature regular reporting from D.C.-based Face the Nation star Margaret Brennan. The new cast came two days after O’Donnell abruptly announced her exit from the CBS staple, which has languished in third place behind ABC’s World News Tonight and NBC’s Nightly News. The network’s new plan leaves every broadcast evening news show with a male host, joining the likes of David Muir and Lester Holt. It also returns the program to its roots; O’Donnell was only the second woman to permanently host Evening News solo, following Katie Couric’s five-year run. Connie Chung co-hosted the program with Dan Rather for two years between 1993 and 1995.Read it at CBSRead more at The Daily Beast.
