2020 ELECTION | Hickenlooper to appear at CNN town hall Wednesday night

Democratic presidential candidate John Hickenlooper will appear at a televised CNN town hall Wednesday night in Atlanta.
The hour-long question-and-answer session in front of a live audience will be the former Colorado governor’s biggest chance yet to make an extended impression on the national stage since launching his 2020 run two weeks ago.
Dana Bash, CNN’s chief political correspondent, will moderate the town hall, which airs on the cable news network at 8 p.m. MDT.
Cord-cutting viewers – and those away from their TVs – will be able to stream the town hall without charge and with no log-in required on CNN’s website, the network has said.
The 67-year-old geologist-turned-brewpub owner, who served two terms as mayor of Denver before his two terms as governor, has been pitching his conciliatory approach to getting things done in a primary field overflowing with senators perhaps better known for their fiery rhetoric.
U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, another Democratic presidential candidate, made news Monday at her CNN town hall when she called for eliminating the Electoral College and appeared to connect on a personal level with the audience in Jackson, Mississippi.
Last week, Democratic candidate Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, reported raising more than $600,000 in the 24 hours after his CNN town hall, which dramatically raised the 37-year-old longshot’s profile in the crowded primary field.
Hickenlooper supporters are staging more than two dozen town hall watch parties around the country, including get-togethers in Denver, Colorado Springs, Las Vegas and Houston. According to his campaign, Hickenlooper plans to call in to all the volunteer-organized watch parties as soon as he finishes the town hall.
