CNN to air coronavirus town hall featuring Biden, Facebook’s Zuckerberg

CNN will host a “Coronavirus: Facts and Fears” town hall on Thursday night that will include presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

The special, hosted by “AC 360” anchor Anderson Cooper and CNN chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta, will run two hours starting at 8 p.m. ET.

“Special guests will include Democratic Presidential Candidate Joe Biden, who will answer viewer questions. Also joining will be Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan, on how Facebook and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative are working to combat the coronavirus,” reads the Thursday network announcement.

Biden has done several interviews this week, including with MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Thursday morning.

The former vice president has received several key endorsements this week, including from former President Obama and 2020 Democratic rival Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).

Anderson Cooper is based out of CNN’s New York bureau, while Gupta is in Atlanta.
