Donald Trump’s town hall live stream (5/10): How to watch online, TV, time, moderator
Donald Trump, a day after jurors in New York found he had sexually abused and defamed E. Jean Carroll, though it rejected her claim that he raped her, will take part in a town hall event Wednesday in New Hampshire. The event will be live streamed on Sling, which offers half off the first month, and on DirecTV Stream (free trial).
The appearance will also serve as yet another contrast with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is seen as a top rival to Trump for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024 and is expected to launch his campaign in the coming weeks. DeSantis has taken a sheltered media approach, largely eschewing questions from the mainstream press.
Trump’s campaign has turned to new channels, including popular conservative podcasts and made-for-social-media videos that often rack up hundreds of thousands of views. His team has also been inviting reporters from a variety of outlets to ride aboard his plane and has been arranging unadvertised stops at local restaurants and other venues to show him interacting with supporters.
It remains unclear how or whether Tuesday’s verdict will have any impact on the race.
When is Trump’s town hall event?
Donald Trump’s town hall event will take place at 7 p.m. (8 p.m. ET) on Wednesday, May 10.
Who is moderating?
The event will be moderated by “CNN This Morning” anchor Kaitlan Collins.
