Salem’s AM 560 The Answer in Chicago announced on Monday that 5P-7P host Steve Cortes will be temporarily stepping away from his show to join President Trump’s re-election campaign in the role of Senior Advisor of Communications.
Cortes is expected to rejoin the station in early November, following the presidential election. The station will announce a fill-in host soon.
“While we wish Steve could stay on the air with us during these next few critical months before the election, we also understand the pull that Steve feels to help President Trump,” said Jeff Reisman, regional vice president and general manager of AM 560. “Steve will have a front row seat to history between now and the election, and we look forward to welcoming him back in November and having him share his firsthand account of how this campaign unfolded with our audience.”
