Jack Newcomer not invited to presidential debate

The debate starts at 6pm in Rand Lounge

Tonight the Vanderbilt Hustler, in collaboration with VandyRadio, is hosting a debate between Vanderbilt Student Government presidential and vice-presidential candidates.

While Ariana and Jude, along with their running mates Taylor and Andrew, have confirmed their attendance, Jack Newcomer said he hadn’t been invited to the debate.

He said: “I wasn’t asked to, but if they asked us to we would”.

This comes in the wake of controversy over Newcomer’s eligibility to run and questions about the legitimacy of having a ‘write-in’ option during a general election.

We contacted the Hustler asking for a confirmed list of invited candidates for tonight’s event, but they have not yet released this information.

The Tab Vanderbilt will be covering the debate which starts at 6pm in Rand Lounge. The debate will also be broadcasted live over VandyRadio.
