News Analysis

Over the span of five weeks, CNN conducted three town halls with GOP presidential candidates, including former President Donald Trump, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, and former Vice President Mike Pence—showcasing how the network might treat the candidates this election cycle and how the candidates conduct themselves in response to an outlet known to be hostile toward Republicans.

The May 10 Trump town hall, moderated by anchor Kaitlan Collins, was as intense as the candidate himself.
The event, which featured New Hampshire Republican and undecided voters, began with moderator Kaitlan Collins confronting Trump about the 2020 election, which he continued to say was stolen from him, prompting Collins to rebut every time Trump repeated the claim.
