Fresh from their first debate and with America’s economy still teetering, the Republican and Democratic presidential rivals take to the airwaves Sunday for a pair of highly anticipated interviews.
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) appears on “This Week” for what ABC is billing as his first post-debate interview.
McCain shook up the presidential race Wednesday when he abruptly temporarily suspended his campaign to return to Washington to work on the emergency legislation being drafted to kick start the nation’s dangerously clogged credit system.
What will McCain have to say about his role in the negotiations?
“This Week” host George Stephanopoulos also leads a roundtable discussion of the week’s dramatic developments in Washington and on the campaign trail with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), The Washington Post's Steve Pearlstein, The American Prospect's Robert Reich and ABC's George Will.
Looking for some post-debate momentum as well, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) sits for the full 30 minutes on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
What will his take be on the economic crisis with Election Day hardly a month away?
On NBC’s “Meet the Press,” host Tom Brokaw visits with former President Bill Clinton about all things political.
Who will Clinton declare a winner in the all-important first debate?
Afterward, Brokaw interviews Obama strategist David Axelrod and McCain strategist Steve Schmidt. And he’ll moderate a high-stakes debate between a pair of Colorado Senate hopefuls — Democratic Rep. Mark Udall and former Republican Rep. Bob Schaffer.
CNN’s “Late Edition” focuses on foreign policy, featuring an exclusive interview with Pakistan’s new president, Asif Ali Zardari.
Host Wolf Blitzer also gets an update on the bailout negotiations from House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.).
Will he have a deal to tout?
Author Thomas Friedman rounds out the CNN lineup, promoting his new book, “Hot, Flat and Crowded.”
“Fox News Sunday” welcomes back a pair of familiar Sunday morning faces — Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and John F. Kerry (D-Mass.), the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee. Each will push his candidates in this race for the White House — Graham for McCain, and Kerry for Obama.
On C-SPAN, “Newsmakers” features a chat with Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, who’ll face questions from Charles Babington of The Associated Press and Sarah Lueck of The Wall Street Journal.
Finally, on Bloomberg’s “Political Capital,” host Al Hunt interviews former Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Richard Holbrooke.
