CBS News anchor Norah O’Donnell will step down for her role as head of CBS Evening News after the 2024 election, the network announced on Tuesday. She’ll transition to a new role focused on interview specials across CBS platforms.
“We have a lot of work to do covering the most important election of our lifetime,” O’Donnell wrote to staff. “My final nights on the Evening News broadcast are still a long way away, and we will have plenty of time to celebrate our accomplishments.”
O’Donnell joined the program in 2019 after years as a White House correspondent and co-host of CBS This Morning. O’Donnell said on Tuesday she will still be on hand to lead CBS’ coverage of top news events and the 2024 election—“and hopefully a debate!”—but that she wanted a change in her life.
