Gloria Borger Departs CNN After 17 Years as Senior Political Analyst

The veteran journalist and Peabody Award-winning election coverage contributor steps away during a period of change at the network.

Gloria Borger, who joined CNN in 2007, is leaving the network after a distinguished 17-year tenure as a senior political analyst.
Borger was a central figure in CNN's election coverage, contributing to Peabody and Emmy-winning reporting during the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections.
Her departure follows a gradual scaling back of her on-air appearances, with her most recent segment airing in 2023.
CNN has not commented on whether Borger will be replaced, and she has not disclosed her future plans, stating a desire to spend time outside the demands of television.
Borger's exit comes during a period of organizational shifts at CNN, including recent layoffs, a focus on digital strategy, and declining ratings following the 2024 presidential election.
