The televised CNN town hall kicked off with Trump repeatedly refusing to accept his defeat in the 2020 election and defending the mob of his supporters who disrupted the peaceful transfer of power. The news from the Carroll verdict did not dampen Trump’s enthusiasm for the town hall, with advisers saying he was excited and raring to go. “Because now I’m not president,” Trump answered, to laughter and applause. In Wednesday’s town hall, Trump refused to clarify whether he would support a federal ban on abortion at 15 weeks. Throughout the town hall, the campaign blasted out emails emphasizing Trump’s policy proposals on energy, immigration, the economy and foreign policy.
