CNN has announced an interesting new wrinkle to its series of Republican Town Hall events. The network is going to host two in one night.
On Thursday, January 4th, CNN will host a Republican Town Hall with Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) at 9:00 PM ET from Grand View University in Des Moines. Kaitlan Collins will serve as moderator for the event.
Then, at 10 PM ET, Erin Burnett will moderate a town hall with former UN Ambassador and South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley from the same location.
The date of the Town Halls is significant, as Iowa will hold its Republican Caucuses on Monday, January 15th. Both candidates will field questions from a live audience comprised of Iowa voters who plan to participate in the Caucuses.
The network will broadcast the events live on the Max streaming service in addition to its regular cable channel, and also on CNN.com.
