Sen. Ted Cruz has decided to not participate in a CNN town hall event with his Democratic rival, Rep. Beto O'Rourke. So instead, O'Rourke will get a full hour on the cable news network alone.

The town hall event will be held in the Texas town of McAllen and had initially been accepted by both candidates. As CNN reported, however, "Sen. Ted Cruz's campaign initially accepted CNN's invitation to participate" but then retracted their offer.
