Veteran journalist Andrea Mitchell is stepping away from her anchoring role at MSNBC after 16 years behind the desk.
During Tuesday’s episode of “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” the newscaster announced she’ll be leaving her namesake show after next year’s presidential inauguration.
Mitchell will remain NBC News’ chief foreign affairs correspondent and chief Washington correspondent.
“After 16 years of being in the anchor chair every day, I want time to do more of what I love the most: more connecting, listening and reporting in the field, especially as whoever is elected next week is going to undertake the monumental task of handling two foreign wars and the political divisions here at home,” she told viewers.
