(CNN) – Hours after his contributor arrangement was suspended by Fox News Channel, former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum will appear live on CNN’s “John King, USA.” The show airs at 7 p.m. ET.
Santorum, who is considered a likely candidate for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, was a contributor for Fox since 2007. Tonight’s interview on CNN will be his first television appearance since his contract was suspended.
Fox News suspended Santorum’s contract earlier today, and will terminate his contract on May 1 if Santorum chooses to make a bid for the presidential nomination.
