      MORE: Harris received the same "Bipartisan Justice Award" in 2016, along with @SenatorTimScott of South Carolina. Calling it "shameful" that today's event excluded all but 9 students, Harris plans to host her own forum tomorrow in Columbia, with details, TBA. Story in edit.pic.twitter.com/t3KkGpGXru

      NEWS: On the heels of @KamalaHarris' withdrawal from tomorrow's criminal justice forum, Columbia Mayor @SteveBenjaminSC tells me that he is organizing a separate event at Benedict for any candidates who are also interested in an alternative event. The theme is "Students First."pic.twitter.com/v7XYUfKZOS

      MORE: Benjamin will host what he's calling the Inaugural Benedict College Presidential Forum, and it will be held in the chapel. "I honestly wanted to give everyone else another option," Benjamin told me. So far, he says, the Booker and Biden campaigns have confirmed attendance.

      This is all in response to today’s event in which a total of only 9 Benedict College students were allotted seats for President Trump’s award and speech from the 20/20 Bipartisan Justice Center.

      According to her campaign, @KamalaHarris will also attend the alternative event, along with @CoryBooker and @JoeBiden. Mayor Benjamin also told me @BernieSanders is “likely” to attend.

      To clarify, at this moment, @KamalaHarris is still the only candidate to pull completely out of the original forum. The other candidates I mentioned will attend both. Will update if that changes.

      UPDATE: Mayor @SteveBenjaminSC now tells me that there will only be ONE forum on the Benedict College campus today, which he will host. It will take place in the Little Theater. The college has taken over the candidate forum, completely. (1/2)

      (2/2) The candidate schedule will remain as it was for the previous forum which was sponsored by the 20/20 Bipartisan Justice Center. That group will now host two separate (non-candidate) panel discussions at 10 a.m. and 12 p.m.

      So to (try to) break this down: 1. There was a candidate forum scheduled for today at Benedict College, sponsored by 20/20 Bipartisan Justice Ctr. 2. That group gave Trump an award. 3. @KamalaHarris pulled out in protest. 4. New event scheduled. 5. 20/20 group no longer hosting.pic.twitter.com/1KPSuFhs7J

          UPDATE: @the2020club still claims to be sponsoring the candidate portion of the forum. And they are advertising @KamalaHarris as a participant. This contradicts @SteveBenjaminSC, @BenedictEDU and other campaigns. Grab your popcorn, folks. 🍿pic.twitter.com/dkrQtmeSyq

          Meg Kinnard Retweeted 20/20 Bipartisan Justice Center

          Continuing to watch this unfold, @the2020club tweeting as though they are still sponsors. One of the more bizarre things I have ever seen. As @CoryBooker was on stage congratulating @BenedictEDU for taking over the event, 20/20 was tweeting this:https://twitter.com/the2020club/status/1188114789358329856?s=20 …

          And there it is: @the2020club, claiming they are still sponsoring forum, tweets @KamalaHarris speaking at 'their' event. She agreed to speak after 20/20 was removed as the event sponsor. It will be very interesting to see how the Harris campaign responds.🍿https://twitter.com/the2020club/status/1188158409973080064?s=20 …

          20/20 Group was founded by 20 Black Democrats and 20 Black Republicans for the purpose of promoting criminal justice reform without partisanship. Democrat candidates ruin planned event due to partisanship.
