For many viewers, a 70-minute town-hall style interview on CNN provided the first long look at the former president and front-runner for the Republican nomination since he left the Oval Office.
Former President Donald Trump at a CNN town hall at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire on Wednesday.Americans saw a pure version of Donald Trump on Wednesday — fortunately or unfortunately.
And there was familiar defiance: He defended his request for Georgia officials to overturn the 2020 election result in their state. A senior Trump campaign official said angry reactions from Trump's political adversaries were a sign of success.But at a town hall held in New Hampshire, where independent voters are a key constituency, Trump declined to choose sides in Russia's war in Ukraine, dodged questions about which abortion restrictions he would support at the federal level and described Collins as"a nasty person" in one testy exchange.
Advisers to President Joe Biden seized on Trump's election-denial rhetoric, his formulation that Republicans should let the nation default if Biden won't agree to spending cuts in exchange for a debt-limit increase and his approval of the Supreme Court's overturning abortion protections. They also took careful note when he declined to promise that he would accept the outcome of the 2024 election.
Trump declined to call Russian President Vladimir Putin a"war criminal," a term Biden has used in condemning the year-old Russian invasion of Ukraine. He promised again to end the war on his first day in office but chose not to say how or which side he would like to see victorious.
