Former Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who has been a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, announced Tuesday he's joining one of the president's favorite targets in the news media: CNN. "Excited to share that I'll be joining @CNN as a regular contributor starting today!" Kasich tweeted. Axios first reported the hire. His first appearance will be on "Cuomo Prime Time" at 9 p.m. on Tuesday. Kasich ran for the Republican nomination in 2016 and is weighing a presidential run against Trump in 2020. Trump in the past has said he hopes that Kasich and other top Republican critics run against him. This is not Kasich's first go-round with a cable network. From 2001 to 2007, he hosted "Heartland with John Kasich" on Fox News and was at times a fill-in host for "The O'Reilly Factor." CNBC on Monday reported that Kasich "ruled out joining Fox News Channel" this time around. The network's opinion programming has been seen as heavily pro-Trump. United Talent Agency on Monday announced it was representing Kasich. The announcement comes a little more than a week after CNN also signed Republican Mia Love and Democrat Luis Gutierrez, both former lawmakers, as commentators. Poster Comment: Kasich/Cuomo 2020?
