Another familiar face at CNN is departing. On Friday, longtime reporter John Harwood announced he is leaving the network.

“Today’s my last day at CNN,” Harwood said, adding he was “proud of the work” he did at the network and was “lucky to serve the best in American media” before listing previous career stops at CNBC, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.

Harwood joined CNN as a White House correspondent in 2020.

The reporter’s sudden departure marks the latest in a series of high-profile departures from the network as incoming President Chris Licht cleans house in an effort to move away from partisan coverage toward the network’s news-first roots.

Last month, Licht canceled the Sunday media show “Reliable Sources” and the network parted ways with its host, Brian Stelter.

Harwood did not reveal if leaving CNN was his choice or if he was forced out.

Nancy grew up in the South where her passion for politics first began. After getting her BA in journalism from Ole Miss she became an arts and culture writer for Athens Magazine where she enjoyed reporting on the eclectic music and art scene in Athens, GA.

However, her desire to report on issues and policies impacting everyday Americans won out and she packed her bags for Washington, DC. Now, she splits her time between the Nation’s Capital and Philadelphia where she covers the fast-paced environment of politics, business, and news.
In her off time, you can find Nancy exploring museums or enjoying brunch with friends.

    Just another swamp rat leaving a sinking ship. Good riddance.

    Is it possible? Even the communist news network is getting tired of their fake news?
    The clowns rode their viewership down to nearly zero, but there are still a few diehards that like their made-up BS.

    I’d like to think he was fired and didn’t leave voluntarily.
