🐦 April 22 at 9PM ET - Senator Sanders CNN Town Hall - Saint Anselm College NH

CNN) Five Democratic presidential candidates will appear later this month in back-to-back CNN town halls focused on issues of importance to young voters, the network announced Thursday.

The CNN town halls are co-hosted by the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College and the Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School. The presidential hopefuls will field questions directly from students and young New Hampshire Democrats, said a CNN spokeswoman, who added the audience will be drawn from the two schools and a pool of young Democrats living in the state.

On April 22, Chris Cuomo will moderate the Klobuchar (7 p.m. ET) and Sanders (9 p.m. ET) town halls, Anderson Cooper will moderate the Warren (8 p.m. ET) and Buttigieg (11 p.m. ET) town halls, and Don Lemon will moderate the Harris (10 p.m. ET) town hall.

The CNN town halls will take place on the campus of Saint Anselm College, and coincide with the release of the Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School's new national poll of young voters.

The latest Harvard Poll shows that Sanders has a commanding lead among 18-29 year olds over his political rivals: 31% back Sanders, while former Vice President Joe Biden places second with 20% support. At this point during the 2016 campaign, Sanders was polling at only 2% with the same age group in the Harvard poll.

Organized by the NHIOP and the Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School, the presidential hopefuls will field questions directly from young voters on topics driving the youth agenda. The audience will consist of up to 500 young voters, including more than 100 Saint Anselm College students.

“This is the largest national political event of the 2020 presidential primary cycle so far,” said Neil Levesque, executive director of the NHIOP. “It’s a great opportunity for Saint Anselm and Harvard students to engage with the candidates and represent the issues on young voters’ minds across the country.”

percentage points to even be listed in the headings. Makes me think this is not a very progressive site or the Bernie supporters are critical enough to remain undecided so they can give all other candidates a look. To me Sanders has the best all around proven bone fides. He will make a commanding insightful president.

His support percentage here is well below multiple polls because a great many DU members feel that Bernie isn't a Democrat and, far worse, cost Hillary the White House in 2016 by acting as an insurgent.

Until he secures the nomination, of which I am certain, there will be no changing the mindset of most of these members of this board. Believe me, I've tried.

Here's the WaPo ad which Faux News purchased itself. Tonight should reflect his growing momentum, particularly since, one by one, Republican voters openly declare their support.
