CNN to host town hall with battleground members of Congress
April 07, 2025

Washington (CNN) โ€” CNN will host a live town hall on Thursday with four members of the US House who represent battleground districts, the network announced Monday.

The town hall, which will be moderated by CNNโ€™s Jake Tapper and Kaitlan Collins from Washington, DC, is slated to air at 9 p.m. ET. It will feature Republican Reps. Mike Lawler of New York and Ryan Mackenzie of Pennsylvania, along with Democratic Reps. Jahana Hayes of Connecticut and Derek Tran of California. The lawmakers will answer questions from a live studio audience made up of Republicans, Democrats and independents, as well as Tapper and Collins. Constituents from each memberโ€™s district will be in the audience.

The town hall comes a week after Democrats overperformed in special House elections held in deep red districts in Florida โ€“ as well as preserving a liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court โ€“ potential signs of a tough midterm environment for the GOP as the party hopes to shore up its razor thin majority in 2026.

House lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have also faced ire from their constituents at town hall meetings in their districts over the past few weeks. While some attendees have called out Republican members about President Donald Trump and Elon Muskโ€™s push to cut federal spending and reshape the federal government, others have angrily demanded Democratic lawmakers in Congress do more to stop them.

The town hall will stream liveโ€ฏfor Pay TV subscribers viaโ€ฏCNN.com, CNN connected TV, and mobile apps.โ€ฏThe Town Hall will also be available On Demandโ€ฏbeginning โ€ฏApril 11 to pay TV subscribers viaโ€ฏCNN.com, CNN apps, and Cable Operator Platforms.
