Rahel Solomon announced on-air this week that she is leaving CNN. During a live broadcast of Early Start on March 23, she told viewers, “This will be my last week at CNN,” though she did not disclose her next steps, promising updates soon.
Solomon, who joined CNN in 2022 after stints at CNBC, has anchored the network’s earliest weekday programming and served as a business correspondent, covering topics from inflation to the job market. She expressed gratitude to her colleagues, saying she is “so proud to have worked alongside” the Early Start team and the broader newsroom.
A finance graduate from St. John’s University with a master’s from Northwestern’s Medill School of Journalism, Solomon has been praised for making complex economic news accessible to viewers. She will officially sign off on March 27, leaving a lasting mark on CNN’s morning coverage.
