The event, which will take place at St. Anselm College, will be moderated by CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins and air at 9 p.m. Eastern. The network said it will fill the venue with a live audience of New Hampshire Republican and undeclared voters who say they intend to vote in the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary. Trump's decision to sit with CNN for a town-hall style event is a significant departure from his usual appearances on Fox News and smaller conservative channels such as Newsmax and OAN.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:27:01 GMT

Timberwolves coach Chris Finch cited internal development as the biggest growth potential for the organization at the end of the 2021-22 season. Of course, months later, Minnesota then made a seismic move, trading to get All-NBA center Rudy Gobert.Fast forward a year, and while so much has changed for the Timberwolves, Finch’s general philosophy hasn’t changed. He seems to maintain the belief that while Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns are significant pieces of Minnesota’s puzzle, the ceiling rests on the shoulders of the team’s up-and-coming stars.“I still think internal growth is huge. When you have players like Ant, Jaden and Naz, those guys are your young core,” Finch said. “We saw what Ant was able to do. We lamented the fact that Jaden and Naz missed the playoffs.
