CNN is doing a new town hall for Niki Haley.

I guess they thought there last one was such a success they will do another. I doubt they will get many viewers for this, might actually lose regular viewers, and they cannot afford to go much lower. This one will be moderated by Jake Tapper, oh yipee.

I doubt the reason is that they refuse to extend an offer to Biden. More likely, he isn't interested in a town hall - on CNN or MSNBC or whatever.

in politics, so he's probably content right now to just let the chimp party toss their feces at one another and he can have a town hall in '24.

They're going to have debates and townhalls. He'll continue leading the country

Though, I do think he could have a primetime townhall on ABC or something and just shit all over McCarthy.

with exclusively tree hugging Liberals in the audience, and how about being moderated by a former NSA agent with top secret clearances, and sometimes Daily Show news reporter, Wanda Sykes.

The over all conclusion apparently at CNN is that the problem with the 1 hour + free advertising for Trump was the audience.

Do you accept the results of the 2020 Presidential election and that President Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump in a free and fair election?

If Haley waivers and starts saying, "their were irregularities in 2020" or will only say "I accept Joe Biden is the President" end the interview immediately.

By having on MAGA Republicans who are election deniers and Trump sycophants they are turning off viewers who are Democrats and Never Trumpers. That's why their ratings continue to nosedive.

Fox "News" is in turmoil right now, so CNN may see a chance to engage all sides and let the listeners decide. They need to burnish their brand for the coming demise of cable TV. Their "C" will need to be changed to stand for something else.
