Former Ohio Republican governor John Kasich will be joining CNN as one of their regular contributors.

The network confirmed that Kasich joined them shortly after he signed on with the United Talent Agency to explore TV jobs at the end of his governorship. CNN’s hiring of Kasich comes amid a recent hiring spree that included former congresswoman Mia Love (R) and ex-Weekly Standard writer Mike Warren.

The governor has strong insights to help guide conversations in our country in a positive direction and this new partnership with CNN gives him a great platform to do so,” Kasich adviser John Weaver told Axios.
