Trump Lays Out 2024 Policy Agenda at CNN Town Hall

Contact Your Elected Officials

Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday presented his vision for the country as he fielded questions from voters and a CNN moderator for a town hall in New Hampshire.

Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, shared what heโ€™d do if he is reelected in 2024 to address what his campaign calls the โ€œBiden declineโ€ currently taking place in the United States.

Republicans and undeclared voters were at the event, held at Saint Anselm College. It marked Trumpโ€™s first appearance on CNN since before he became president in 2016, and was also the first major televised event of the 2024 presidential campaign.

โ€œ[President] Joe Biden has turned everything into a disaster: inflation, the economy, the border, crime, energy, China, Russia, and wokeness in schools,โ€ Trumpโ€™s campaign said in a statement shortly after the town hall.

โ€œPresident Trump will save the economy, bring down inflation, secure the border, crush the Deep State and prevent World War 3.

โ€œPresident Trump is the only one who can stop the forces from destroying our countryโ€”anyone else will be ripped to shreds.โ€

Throughout the event, Trump shared his policy stances on a range of issues.

Skyrocketing Prices

An audience member asked about skyrocketing prices that have affected food, gas, utilities, and insurance, which has increased U.S. taxpayersโ€™ bills by several hundred dollars a month.

โ€œIf elected president again, what is the first thing youโ€™d do to help bring down the costs to make things more affordable?โ€ she asked.

โ€œDrill, baby, drill,โ€ Trump responded, referring to drilling for more oil to help lower energy costs. The audience warmly cheered and applauded him.

Trump said under his administration, the country became energy independent and was soon to be energy dominant, and oil prices went down to $1.87, and in some cases lower, before โ€œthese stupid fools ended it,โ€ in a reference to the Biden administration.

โ€œWe created the greatest economy in history,โ€ Trump asserted, adding that โ€œa big part of that economyโ€ also gave Americans large tax cuts.
