CNN's chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta did not receive the warmest welcome while reporting from the Trump rally in Sanford, Fla. 

Hours before President Trump made his debut on the campaign trail following his recovery from the coronavirus, Acosta told "The Situation Room" anchor Wolf Blitzer about the planned rallies the president has on his schedule including Iowa and North Carolina, states Acosta asserted should have been "in the bag" for the GOP incumbent. 

However, a couple of rallygoers are heard chanting "CNN sucks," which grew louder quickly with more people piling on the anti-Trump network.
