And the Dem to win 'CNN's first town hall of the 2020 season' in Iowa IS... (Hint: Some Dems WON'T like it)

The field of Democrat candidates keeps growing, and this morning it got a little more crowded:

EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Kamala Harris announces she will run for president in 2020.

“I love my country," she tells @GMA. "And this is a moment in time that I feel a sense of responsibility to stand up and fight for the best of who we are.” https://t.co/TaNcPjey8F pic.twitter.com/dC8k3l9aCr

And with that, CNN had their first Dem candidate to get a town hall in Iowa:

That’s something that’s bound to anger fans of other Dem candidates:

This is the first shot in the free media primary — which Trump crushed in 2016.

Will CNN offer this for everyone? If not, then who? https://t.co/xdgr36SF5x

CNN’s already getting some blowback over this:

where's the full week of back to back town hall airings of all announced candidates?

This seems pretty arbitrary and ridiculous. What about Elizabeth Warren?

Has @CNN chose their candidate? https://t.co/bGcxEhTT9F

Will CNN be giving this free media to @VoteOjeda2020 too? Pretty great opportunity for any declared candidate. https://t.co/nH4VU3MyqD
