Cory Booker to hold CNN town hall in SC

2020 presidential candidate Cory Booker will hold a CNN town hall in South Carolina next week, the New Jersey senator’s campaign announced Tuesday.

The town hall at Orangeburg’s Stevenson Auditorium will be broadcast nationwide on the cable news channel at 10 p.m. Wednesday, March 27.

Booker’s campaign said the crowd for the town hall will be drawn from Claflin and South Carolina State universities, two historically black universities in Orangeburg. Other seats will be distributed by the S.C. Democratic Party.
