"Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy," quipped Democrat Lloyd Bentsen during a 1988 vice presidential debate with his fellow senator, Dan Quayle, in response to the Republican mentioning the name of John F. Kennedy. It appears no one on this year's debate stage is going to have the opportunity to direct a similar barb at Robert Kennedy, Jr. https://open.substack.com/pub/newsguy/p/a-kennedy-for-president-viewed-as?r=1g77q&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

"The Biden-Harris campaign has informed CBS News that we accept the network's invitation to participate in a Vice Presidential debate, in studio, on either of two dates. The two options proposed by CBS that we are able to accept are Tuesday, July 23, or Tuesday, August 13. ... We look forward to the Trump campaign accepting one of these dates so that the full debate calendar for this campaign can be set." -- Brian Fallon, communications director for VP Harris
