Trump calls Jan 6 a ‘beautiful day’ during CNN town hall
Donald Trump and his likely 2024 rival Ron DeSantis were planning on fighting for voters at duelling events in Iowa today.
Mr DeSantis, whose presidential campaign announcement could come any day now, spent the day shaking hands at a congressman’s annual picnic and then an Iowa Republican Party fundraiser in Cedar Rapids.
Mr Trump was originally slated to hold an outdoor rally in Des Moines tonight, but later had to cancel because of a tornado warning.
He may have cancelled his rally, but the former president is still the center of the conversation for other reasons.
Mr Trump defended CNN over his chaotic town hall appearance on Wednesday evening, saying the network did “the right thing” by giving him a mainstream media platform.
The former president has also begun his appeal against the verdict in the E Jean Carroll case after he was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation earlier this week.
