Trump repeats false election fraud claims at CNN town hall
Former president addresses New Hampshire voters, makes unfounded allegations of voter fraud
Town hall airs live on CNN without requiring cable log-in
Former President Donald Trump repeated false claims of election fraud during a CNN town hall in front of New Hampshire voters Wednesday night. The town hall, which aired live without requiring a cable log-in, featured Trump addressing questions from New Hampshire Republican and undeclared voters.
Trump's appearance on CNN was his first since leaving office in January. The town hall was widely seen as an attempt by Trump to regain control of the Republican Party and to lay the groundwork for a possible presidential run in 2024.
During the town hall, Trump repeated his baseless claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him. He also attacked the media, the Democratic Party, and his successor, President Joe Biden.
Trump's claims of election fraud have been repeatedly debunked by election officials and experts. However, he continued to make the claims on Wednesday night, despite the lack of evidence to support them.
The town hall was met with mixed reactions. Some viewers praised Trump for his candor and for speaking his mind. Others criticized him for his inflammatory rhetoric and for spreading misinformation.
The town hall is set to be a major topic of discussion in the coming days. It is likely to further divide the Republican Party and to fuel the debate over the legitimacy of the 2020 election.
