Carly Fiorina to Appear on 'Good Morning America'
Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, a Republican who is widely expected to launch a 2016 presidential bid, will appear on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Monday to talk politics and her new book, "Rising to the Challenge: My Leadership Journey."
As she prepares to announce whether she will enter the race for the White House, Fiorina will sit down for exclusive interviews with ABC News' Chief Anchor and "This Week" host, George Stephanopoulos, as well as ABC's Robin Roberts.
If she becomes a candidate, Fiorina, 60, would be the only major GOP contender who is a woman.
"I have a different voice," she recently told reporters during an appearance in New Hampshire. "I know by the way, I look a little different too."
She has emerged as a vocal opponent of likely Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. Speaking at a gathering of potential Republican candidates in Iowa earlier this year, she deployed what has become one of her regular lines of attack against the former Secretary of State.
"Like Hillary Clinton, I too have travelled hundreds of thousands of miles around the globe," Fiorina said. "But unlike her, I have actually accomplished something. Mrs. Clinton, flying is an activity, not an accomplishment."
In addition to her exclusive interviews with ABC News, a spokeswoman for Fiorina announced that she will also host a live online town hall on Monday. Her book will be released Tuesday. And over the next week, she plans to make stops in the critical early primary and caucus states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
Fiorina, who waged an unsuccessful bid in California to unseat long-time Democratic U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer in 2010, has never held public office. She served as an adviser to Sen. John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign.
It's Fiorina business record that sets her apart from much of the GOP field. She served as CEO of Hewlett-Packard from 1999 to 2005 -- the first female CEO of a Fortune 50 company. More recently, she has led the Unlocking Potential Project, an initiative to bring more women voters into the Republican Party.
