Norah O’Donnell will anchor her final episode of “CBS Evening News” following the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump.

O’Donnell shared this news in a video on her Instagram Story on Friday while at the news studio.

She stated, “We just announced today that I will be anchoring the evening news for two more months, up to inauguration day. I hope you’ll keep tuning in every night. Thank you, and happy Thanksgiving.”

According to an unnamed source, her last day will be January 24, 2025.

The declaration regarding the anchor’s departure was made over three months after she informed staff during a call that she would be leaving “after this year’s election.” O’Donnell has been the face of the evening news for five years.

In a statement shared by CBS News in July, O’Donnell reflected, “I have spent 12 years as an anchor here, involved in a consistent daily broadcast amidst the pressure of a fast-paced news cycle.”

She added, “It’s time to explore new opportunities. This presidential election marks my seventh as a reporter, and many of us in this field tend to mark our careers by these significant events.”

Who will take over for Norah O’Donnell on ‘CBS Evening News’?

Beginning January 27, CBS anchors John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois will host “Evening News” from its new location at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York.

Margaret Brennan, CBS News’ chief foreign affairs correspondent and “Face The Nation” host, will cover political and foreign affairs from Washington D.C.

Lonnie Quinn will also join the team, providing weather updates from New York as the chief weathercaster.

In her previous statement from July, O’Donnell mentioned that she would continue contributing to “Evening News” and other shows, including “60 Minutes,” in the role of correspondent.

CBS News CEO Wendy McMahon stated earlier that O’Donnell’s new position would provide her with the opportunity to “utilize various platforms effectively, including during primetime specials and programs like ’60 Minutes’ and ‘CBS News Sunday Morning.’

Throughout her time on “Evening News,” O’Donnell secured high-profile interviews with figures including Pope Francis, Oprah Winfrey, Dolly Parton, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Hillary Clinton. She has also interviewed every living president of the United States.

As the election approached, O’Donnell co-moderated the vice presidential debate alongside Margaret Brennan and held an exclusive interview with Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.
