"DeSantis and GOP Candidates: From CNN Stage to Iowa's Gentler Tone"
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy will participate in separate town hall events hosted by CNN this week. The town halls will provide an opportunity for both candidates to appeal to a broad audience and address hot button issues such as abortion, the Israel-Hamas War, and former President Trump. The candidates will need to navigate the potential dynamic of appealing to Trump's base while also addressing CNN's past criticism of the former president. Recent polls show that Trump maintains a strong lead in the GOP nomination fight and would have a slight edge over President Biden in a hypothetical rematch. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer's Fight Like Hell PAC has announced its first slate of endorsements for the 2024 election.
