Why Does CNN Keep Featuring “Undecided” Voters Who Are Anything But?

On August 22, in Allentown, Pennsylvania, CNN’s Gary Tuchman introduced viewers to eight “undecided voters” from the Lehigh Valley. The segment, airing just after Kamala Harris’s DNC speech, was meant to capture the pulse of this crucial battleground state. Among these supposedly open-minded citizens sat Rosado, described by Tuchman as “a nice guy” in real estate.

As the panel graded Harris’s performance, Rosado stood out, giving the speech a “C” while others doled out As and Bs. His explanation? Harris wasn’t “clear enough on the policies” and he didn’t “want to personally vote for someone that is a backup.” Fair enough for an undecided voter, right?

But then came the plot twist. When asked if anyone was ready to commit, Rosado raised his hand—for Trump. Tuchman, seemingly surprised, noted that Rosado was “undecided” when they met last week.
