Given Trump's standing in polls with Republican voters, the network said, his 2024 candidacy can't be ignored.
NEW YORK — Donald Trump’s town hall forum on CNN on Wednesday is the first major television event of the 2024 presidential campaign — and a gigantic test for the chosen moderator, Kaitlan Collins.
Once it begins, Collins must give audience members the chance to ask questions while determining when to step in with her own. She’ll weigh how to correct misinformation in a potentially hostile environment: Invited town hall participants are those who expect to vote in a Republican primary. She covered the Trump White House and became CNN’s chief White House correspondent in 2021. She moved to New York late last year for a co-hosting role on “CNN This Morning.” For the 31-year-old Collins, now in the mix for a role on CNN’s prime-time lineup, Wednesday’s event may also be an important audition.
From the archives : Senate Republican Rick Scott now exempts Social Security and other federal programs from plan to ‘sunset’ legislation every five yearsAlyssa Farah Griffin, once on Trump’s communications team and now a panelist on “The View,” tweeted after the forum was announced that Collins “is one of the toughest interviews out there. Anyone thinking that Trump will get away with lying without being called out needs to watch her past interviews. Honestly surprised he agreed.
A Trump adviser, who was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity, said CNN executives made a compelling pitch to the former president. The adviser also noted that Trump had found success as a neophyte candidate in 2016 by stepping outside Republicans’ traditional comfort zone.
