Donald Trump is holding a rally in Juneau, Wisconsin on Sunday afternoon, where he demanded that 60 Minutes give him an “apology.”

Trump backed out of the interview on Tuesday, just ahead of the vice presidential debate on CBS, the same network that airs 60 Minutes.

Earlier this week, CBS said that Trump committed to the interview while the Trump campaign told CNN that the interview was never “locked in” and that the network had “insisted on cutting out of the interview to do fact-checking.”

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris will go on a media blitz this week as she sits down for interviews with 60 Minutes, The View, late-night host Stephen Colbert and radio host Howard Stern with just 30 days left until Election Day.

In a preview for her 60 Minutes interview, Harris was pressed about the US’s relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nearly one year after Hamas attacks on October 7 — questions she largely dodged.

Trump’s Wisconsin rally comes just one day after he held a lie-filled event at the venue in Butler, Pennsylvania where he survived an assassination attempt just three months ago. At Saturday’s rally, he suggested that his political opponents “maybe tried to kill me.”
