Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) predicted the 2024 presidential election won’t be close as Trump’s responses to CNN’s town hall have been a gold mine for Democrats.
Rep. Lieu tweeted:
Donald Trump on national TV repeated it to take away a woman’s suffrage.
The elections will not be close. Trump will again lose Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona and Georgia.
The abortion issue will crush Trump and the Republicans.
This is not complicated. https://t.co/42A4wUJG46

Some people think City Hall was a debacle for CNN. But it was certainly a gold mine for it @JoeBiden and democrats. From now through November, we’re going to be highlighting several of Donald Trump’s statements at City Hall. This presidential election will not be close. https://t.co/PCkSHMJl0U

Not that many Americans would have watched one town hall on CNN.
But many Americans will now see the sick things Donald Trump said because @JoeBiden and Democrats will absolutely use clips of that town hall in ads across America. https://t.co/bTrQgCWPGO

America now knows after nearly eight years of Trump exposure that the former president isn’t just saying things to get votes. He really believes and will continue with things like a national abortion ban and helping Russia take over Ukraine. Trump will destroy democracy in the United States. These are things that will happen when Trump returns to the White House.
Rep. Lieu was right. CNN’s Town Hall was watched by a small fraction of those who will vote in the 2024 general election. Exponentially more voters in 2024 will see and hear all the ads the Democrats are going to make of Trump’s appearance on CNN.
Democrats will also use Trump’s words against candidates for the Republican House and Senate in 2024.
Trump has consistently been the gift that the Democrats continue to give. The odds of him returning to the White House after his 2020 loss were already slim, and the former president gave Democrats a big head start with a performance at City Hall that should remind voters why he’s unsuitable for the White House .
