Abby Huntsman
MSNBC has hired Abby Huntsman, a host/producer on HuffPost Live and daughter of former GOP presidential candidate Jon Huntsman, as a co-host of the political panel talk show,The Cycle.
"I am excited to bring a dose of moderate, rational conservatism to The Cycle," Huntsman said on HuffPost Live on Wednesday. "I think that's needed today in the political discourse."
Huntsman had been a part of The Huffington Post's video network since its launch in August 2012. In June, The Cycle co-host S.E. Cupp left MSNBC to join CNN's forthcoming relaunch of debate show, Crossfire, which is set to launch this fall.
Huntsman will start at MSNBC on July 29, the network said in a statement. Hosts of The Cycle include Toure, Krystal Ball and Air Melber.
