CNN senior political analyst Gloria Borger is leaving her post after 17 years at the network, where she appeared as a regular contributor on “The Situation Room With Wolf Blitzer” and “Anderson Cooper 360.”
The newsletter Status was the first to report the news, which HuffPost has since confirmed. CNN did not provide any details around the circumstances of her departure, and Borger did not return a request for comment.
She previously served as CNN’s chief political analyst and was a fixture in the network’s election coverage, having been part of the CNN teams that won a Peabody Award and an Emmy for the network’s presidential election coverage in 2008 and 2012.
She’s scaled back her appearances in recent years, however. Her most recent segment on CNN appears to be a 2023 analysis on a federal judge ruling against former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.
News of Borger’s departure comes the week after longtime CNN host Alisyn Camerota announced on air that she was leaving the network after 10 years, saying that at CNN, she’d had “the kind of peak career experiences that I had dreamed of since I was a teenager.”
Their departures come a few months after CNN’s chief executive, Mark Thompson, announced some shake-ups at the network in light of a shifting business strategy, including more experimentation with artificial intelligence. The move would result in about 100 employees, or about 3% of the workforce, losing their jobs, Thompson said.
