CNN announced on Monday that Trump will participate in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-covid-infection-undermines-his-heavy-handed-approach-to-shots\/\" title=\"Biden\u2019s Covid Infection Undermines His Heavy-Handed Approach To Shots\">presidential town hall event<\/a> next week, moderated by CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins. The event will take place in New Hampshire at 9 p.m. ET on May 10, where Trump will take questions from Republicans and undeclared voters who plan to vote in New Hampshire\u2019s GOP presidential primary.<\/p>\n<h3>Why Did Trump Agree to Participate?<\/h3>\n<p>Despite Trump&#8217;s history of calling CNN &#8220;fake news,&#8221; he agreed to participate in the town hall after &#8220;CNN executives made a compelling pitch,&#8221; according to an adviser to the former president. The adviser also said Trump is &#8220;running to be president for all Americans.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>2024 Election Polls<\/h3>\n<p>Polls examining the 2024 election generally show Trump with a significant lead over the rest of the GOP primary field. The next closest Republican is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who has not announced a campaign but reportedly is moving in that direction.<\/p>\n<h3>CNN Faces Blowback<\/h3>\n<p>CNN is facing blowback and even calls for a boycott over its decision to host Trump for a town hall. However, a statement from CNN explained that the network has a longstanding tradition of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnn-to-host-trump-2024-town-hall\/\" title=\"CNN to hold Trump 2024 town hall.\">hosting leading presidential candidates<\/a> for Town Halls and political events as a critical component of the network\u2019s robust campaign coverage.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Washington Post columnist Philip Bump quipped, &#8220;Wow, apparently CNN figured out how to do <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-makes-deal-to-appear-at-cnn-town-hall-leftist-commentators-immediately-freak-out\/\" title=\"Trump agrees to CNN town hall, leftists outraged.\">real-time fact-checking<\/a> that might prevent a bad-faith actor from making a flurry of false claims that would otherwise go unchallenged.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Former ESPN host and hard-Left commentator Keith Olbermann tweeted, &#8220;Here it is, [CNN] committing journalistic suicide: If there was ONE consensus about 2024 it was that \u2018covering\u2019 Trump the way they did in 2016 (handing him live blocks of free airtime with no fact-checking possible) was irresponsible, and CNN\u2019s doing it.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><a class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNN announced on Monday former President Donald Trump would participate in a presidential town hall event next week, making way for Trump\u2019s first appearance on the cable news network since the 2016 campaign.
