Kamala Harris made the cut for CNN’s big town hall on climate change on September 4, but she’s not going because she’s “busy” doing other things:

Kinda sucks that Kamala Harris is skipping CNN’s climate forum bc she’s busy and yet @JayInslee , who has made climate change his defining issue and has the most of any candidate to say on the subject, isn’t invited. https://t.co/Mp7iEYEkN6 — Maddie Stone (@themadstone) August 20, 2019

She’ll be meeting with big donors instead:

Yikes. @KamalaHarris is skipping out on the first ever Presidential climate forum to schmooze with big donors. Debating our generation’s survival isn’t optional. We need a leader who prioritizes the future of humanity over rubbing elbows with millionaires and billionaires. pic.twitter.com/by6XDmpB4g — Sunrise Movement ? (@sunrisemvmt) August 19, 2019

Climate change is important, but not as important as this check:

Every Democrat says they will do something about climate change. Almost none actually do. So in my mind, any candidate who skips either the CNN or MSNBC climate forums is making a major statement about how they will actually act on climate if they take office. — Emily Atkin (@emorwee) August 20, 2019

Will she change her mind?

Anyway, fwiw, Harris could still eventually decide to attend the CNN forum. I hope she does. — Emily Atkin (@emorwee) August 20, 2019

There’s a second forum on climate change in late September that she can also ditch if she’s so inclined:

So @KamalaHarris isn’t able to participate in @CNN Climate Forum … is she going to participate in @MSNBC @ourdailyplanet’s one at @GUPolitics moderated by @chrislhayes and @AliVelshi on Sept 19-20th? Won’t look good if she misses both – especially being from CA — Kurt Bardella (@kurtbardella) August 19, 2019
