Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson‘s presidential campaign is going prime time.

CNN announced this week that Johnson and his running mate, Bill Weld, will participate in a town hall meeting on the national network on Wednesday, June 22 at 9 p.m.

The format, aired live and hosted by Chris Cuomo, will allow voters to ask questions of Johnson and Weld, a former Massachutsetts governor.

Johnson, who is mounting his second bid for president, has long complained about a lack of media coverage for his campaigns. He contends more extensive coverage would give him a better chance to reach a 15 percent polling threshold required for inclusion in the presidential debates.

A national FOX poll earlier this month showed Johnson with 12 percent support, a record high for him.
