Yesterday, Hardy proposed to Johnson that he challenge Dewey to a televised debate. After a night of rush work from the team, the proposal was published in all major newspapers this morning.
The challenge immediately caused a huge sensation.
The Global Times reported: "President Johnson has issued a challenge to presidential candidate Dewey, inviting him to a live televised debate on ABC. The two can ask each other questions on governance philosophy, economic development, foreign policy, the nation's future, and issues of public concern. The questions can come from each other, the host, or even the audience.
"This kind of challenge helps the public better understand the future president, which is beneficial for the election. Now, Johnson has issued the challenge, and Dewey has two days to respond. Will Dewey accept the challenge? We'll see."
