Donald Trump is currently leading in the Republican primary polls. The former president is comfortably ahead of the other candidates, with up to 28% margins in the latest polls. In this context, and after seven years, he will again participate in a CNN town hall. The event is scheduled for the second week of May in New Hampshire.
The network announced this and reported that the event's moderator will be Kaitlan Collins. The town hall will be a live broadcast from Anselm College in Goffstown, New Hampshire, "for pay TV subscribers via CNN.com and CNN OTT and mobile apps under 'TV Channels,' or CNNgo where available."
The former president recently stopped by New Hampshire, where he touted his poll numbers and harshly criticized Joe Biden on the economy. "When I left office, we handed Joe Biden the fastest economic recovery ever recorded — all with no inflation. He took that booming economy, and he promptly blew it to shreds," he said.
At the same time, he was hopeful about returning to government and righting the course of the United States. "We are a nation in serious decline, a nation that has lost its way. We are led by a hopeless person, but we will win in 2024 and make America great again. We can do it. It's not too late," he added.

The former president is expected to be asked about his proposals for 2024, the current Biden administration and his court case being prosecuted by prosecutor Alvin Bragg. CNN town halls are events that the network organizes with political candidates, who are subjected to questions from an audience.
The last one Trump attended was in March 2016, when he was also the favorite to take the Republican presidential nomination. At the time, only three were left in the race; Ted Cruz, John Kasich and the tycoon himself.
Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, Asa Hutchinson and Larry Elder have already announced their candidacies for 2024, while Senator Tim Scott has an exploratory committee. The public still awaits the decisions of Ron DeSantis, Chris Sununu, Mike Pence and Liz Cheney.
