Watch: Donald Trump Town Hall Meeting in Sandown, NH

SANDOWN, NH — For the second time in a little more than a week and the fifth time in two months, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is campaigning in New Hampshire. Unlike previous events, which have been rallies ranging from 900 to 2,000 people, the billionaire businessman came to Sandown to speak at a town hall event at that the community’s town hall but denied it was an effort to prep for the upcoming town hall debate on Sunday in St. Louis, in an intimate setting.

Boston radio talk show host and New York Times bestselling author Howie Carr emceed the invitation-only event where attendees asked questions and the candidate spent up to two minutes answering the questions.

The questions, all from Granite State residents, ranged from how the candidate would tackle the attacks from Democrats and the biased mainstream media to job creation and whether or not he would clean out the corruption in the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice. Trump also commended his running mate, joked about the mic problems during the first debate, and also made a commitment to nominate Constitutional justices to the Supreme Court and stopping the flow of "poison" - drugs like heroin, which are ravaging the state - from coming over the border from Mexico.

The Oct. 6, 2016, event begins at 7 p.m. Watch the live stream below.

The event was put together at a crucial point in the campaign as Trump attempts to find a route to win the 270 Electoral College votes to win the presidency. During the primary process, the motto, “All roads lead to New Hampshire,” is a given. But for the past generation, as the state has changed from red to purple, the same statement is the case when it comes to the general election, too, and both campaigns understand that while New Hampshire only has four Electoral College votes, they may need them to win.

While polls are seesawing and Trump’s first debate performance was met with mixed reviews, a solid presentation by Gov. Mike Pence, R-IN, in the vice presidential debate this week, has the campaign buoyed with optimism.
