Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will be the next GOP primary candidate to get a town hall slot on CNN, following in the footsteps of former President Donald Trump and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.
The cable news network said anchor Anderson Cooper will moderate the live town hall at 8 p.m. Monday in New York.
CNN’s events with Mrs. Haley and Mr. Christie arrive on the heels of its polarizing decision to host Mr. Trump in a town hall that featured a friendly audience. CEO Chris Licht, who faces internal company pressure, defended the event as an important exercise in news gathering, but others said it was a bad look for CNN to let Mr. Trump deliver falsehoods about the 2020 election to an audience that cheered him on.
Polling shows Mr. Christie with 1% of support in New Hampshire, a critical early primary state, compared to 41% for Mr. Trump and 23% for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is considered Mr. Trump’s biggest threat in the race for the Republican nomination.
