CNN announced Thursday that Tapper will anchor the 9 pm hour, which was previously occupied by Chris Cuomo.
Jake Tapper is headed to primetime.
The move will go into effect on Monday, Oct. 10 and continue through (at least) the week of the Nov. 8 midterm elections.
As a result of Tapper’s big move, John Berman and Brianna Keilar — who will no longer host New Day — will each fill in for Tapper on The Lead, from 4-5 pm.
