CNN will host town hall for Green Party candidates

CNN will host an inaugural town hall for Green Party presidential nominee Dr. Jill Stein and running mate Ajamu Baraka on August 17.

The live one-hour question and answer broadcast will take place in New York and be carried by CNN, CNN International and CNN en Espanol. A moderator has yet to be determined.

The cable news network announced the program late Wednesday during the second town hall for Libertarian candidates former Govs. Gary Johnson and Bill Weld.

A CNN/ORC poll released Tuesday had Stein polling at 5 percent nationally. In order to be included in the presidential debates later this year, she would have to reach 15 percent.

The town hall will air Wednesday, Aug. 17 at 9 p.m. EST.
