Here is the Trump campaign’s suggested list of 24 potential moderators for the presidential debates:
ABC News: Tom Llamas, David Muir
Bloomberg: Kevin Cirilli.
CBN: David Brody.
CBS News: Norah O’Donnell, Major Garrett.
CNBC: Rick Santelli, Joe Kernen.
Fox News: Bret Baier, Shannon Bream, Rachel Campos-Duffy, Harris Faulkner, Bill Hemmer.
Fox Business Network: Maria Bartiromo, Gerry Baker, Susan Li, Charles Payne, Dagen McDowell.

The Commission on Presidential Debates selects moderators several weeks before the debates. The commission cites three criteria: familiarity with the candidates and the major issues of the presidential campaign; extensive experience in live television broadcast news; and an understanding that the debate “should focus maximum time and attention on the candidates and their views.”
The moderators choose the questions to be asked.
