CNN will host town hall with Bernie Sanders
Posted on Wednesday, January 4, 2017 by CNN in Election
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders will participate in a prime-time CNN Town Hall next week just as the Republican-controlled 115th Congress and President-elect Donald Trump begin to roll out their agendas.
Sanders, the progressive icon who challenged Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination, will sit down with CNNs Chris Cuomo. The one-hour event will be held at George Washington University on January 9 at 9 p.m. ET and will air on CNN, CNN International and CNN en Español. It also will be live-steamed online and across mobile via CNNgo and CNN SiriusXM channel 116.
Sanders will take questions on major issues facing the nation and will discuss the Democratic strategy for dealing with Trumps administration.
During the primary, Sanders made income and wealth inequality a cornerstone of his campaign, as well as the Democratic Partys platform as a whole. He also criticized the Democratic National Committees handling of the primary process and endorsed the primary opponent of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the former DNC chairwoman.
Despite tensions during the primary, however, Sanders campaigned for Clinton in the general election and was one of Trumps loudest critics.
