CNN has announced it will hold a town hall event with 2024 Republican presidential hopeful Chris Christie. The event will be moderated by Anderson Cooper.
The event will take place on Monday, June 12th at 8:00 PM ET from New York.
The former New Jersey governor, who entered the race on Tuesday, becomes the latest in a long line of Republican hopefuls to sit down with voters on CNN.
CNN began its town hall coverage by hosting former President Donald Trump in New Hampshire. The network was widely panned for the event, with many pointing to the event being the genesis for Chris Licht’s exit which was announced Wednesday.
The network has also hosted an event with Nikki Haley, and is scheduled to hold a town hall with former Vice President Mike Pence, who also recently entered the race for the 2024 Republican nomination.
Previous moderators for CNN have included Kaitlan Collins, Jake Tapper, and Dana Bash.
No town hall events with other GOP hopefuls, including Ron DeSantis, Tim Scott, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Asa Hutchinson, with CNN have been announced.
