Sen Edward Kennedy failed to secure a face to face debate with President Carter and instead aired Carter’s taped remarks from a 1978 news conference at the American Consumer Federation gathering. Kennedy challenged Carter’s constitutional engagement and linked him to Nixon’s campaign stance. Reagan criticized Kennedy in Georgia and Florida while James Edwards criticized Reagan’s campaign strategy. George Bush defended his record amid a Nixon fund report and John Connally seeks private funding for a nationwide TV ad push. Senate GOP leader Howard Baker floated potential running mates for Kennedy’s eventual nomination.
