‘Yes, I was given some questions for Biden,’ Earl Ingram, a local Milwaukee-area radio host, said
Another local radio host who interviewed President Biden in the days following the presidential debate admitted that he received the questions beforehand.
In statements given to ABC News, Wisconsin radio station host Earl Ingram confirmed that he was given five questions to ask Biden during their recent chat and wasn’t able to get through all of them before the interview ended.
“Yes, I was given some questions for Biden,” Ingram told the outlet on Saturday.Ingram, who is the host of “The Earl Ingram Show” on WMCS in Milwaukee, was the second local radio host this weekend to admit they received a list of questions to use for interviewing Biden.
Andrea Lawful-Sanders, who hosts “The Source” on WURD in Philadelphia, told CNN anchor Victor Blackwell on Saturday that the questions for her interview with Biden “were sent to me for approval.”
“I approved them,” Lawful-Sanders told Blackwell, who detailed the questions, stating they were about Biden’s accomplishments, debate performance, progress in both Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, what’s at stake in the election, and what he would say to voters who are considering not voting in the presidential election.
The CNN anchor also pointed out that the questions the Philadelphia host asked were “essentially the same” as the ones in Biden’s interview with Ingram, who was also interviewed by Blackwell alongside Lawful-Sanders.
Ingram confirmed to ABC News that he was given questions from Biden’s team, mentioning that he “didn’t get a chance to ask him all the things” he wanted before their time was up.
The outlet noted that the host said he didn’t see anything too problematic with being given the questions, and that he was just happy to have the opportunity to speak to the president.
