Will Donald Trump take questions?
With the 2024 presidential election underway, it is obvious that Trump will be looking to stress on his agenda for the second term that he is seeking in the White House to attract as many voters as possible. The Republican presidential candidate who is still a part-favorite and is slated to bag the primary, will take questions from Collins and a live audience of New Hampshire.
The audience will be a mix of Republican voters and the undecided who intend to vote in the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary.
According to CNN’s press release, “This event with former President Trump will be the first of many for CNN in the coming months as CNN correspondents travel across the country to hear directly from voters in the runup to the 2024 presidential election.”
How to Watch
The event will stream live for pay TV subscribers via CNN.com and CNN OTT and mobile apps under “TV Channels,” or CNNgo where available. The town hall will also be available On Demand beginning Thursday, May 11 for paid TV subscribers via CNN.com, CNN apps, and Cable Operator Platforms.
Reactions
After CNN announced the news, it did not go well with its viewers who rebuked the network for providing Trump with a platform to speak.
