The president has ridiculed the cable news network relentlessly. He will do a town hall event with it next week.
The ex-president will participate in a town hall event with CNN, a network he called “fake” and whose reporters he routinely chastised while serving in office. The event, which will take place at New Hampshire’s Saint Anselm College next week, will mark a major moment in the intersection of politics and the media in the still nascent 2024 GOP primary. It also is the latest illustration of an aggressive media strategy that Trump’s team is adopting.
Those in the former president’s orbit believe that by giving interviews and access to mainstream outlets, they can broaden Trump’s message — and create a contrast with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has widely been seen as more closed off toward mainstream outlets while granting interviews to conservative ones.
In mid-April, the Republican National Committee announced that Fox would host the first debate. Shortly after that, Trump announced on his social media platform that he had not given his “approval” for it and suggested he would not participate in a forum hosted by “angry, TRUMP & MAGA hating anchors.”
