59. Her wife had a very serious bout of covid, and it re-arranged her priorities.

To me, a better work-life balance is understandable.

Me, personally (and I very much I don't speak for nearly anyone else here), I'd love to see Keith back. Never happening, and yes, he can be prissy and bombastic, but when he wanted his pound of flesh from the GOP idiots, he damnwell went and took it, and we might be could use a little bit of that for what's in store.

Ali left CNN True Blue American Jun 2022 #86

good Captain Zero Jun 2022 #39

I always liked her back when I had cable and watched a lot of msnbc. This should be liberalla Jun 2022 #41

Alex Wagner is a good choice LetMyPeopleVote Jun 2022 #43

Alex Wagner, not Witt. n/t yorkster Jun 2022 #55

Not a fan. I'd prefer Jonathan Capehart. More personality, humor, energy, and appropriate gravitas. ancianita Jun 2022 #44

I like him too. Wish they'd replace Mitchell or Toad with Ali or Jonathan. Evolve Dammit Jun 2022 #73

Absolutely. But Mitchell's not in youth demographic time slots. I'd prefer Ali or Jon in primetime. ancianita Jun 2022 #75

oh, one other thing -- I'd prefer Wagner to replace Mitchell in her daytime slot ancianita Jun 2022 #76

Nice, no match for Alex. True Blue American Jun 2022 #87

Well OK, I'm willing to give her a chance FakeNoose Jun 2022 #62

Really liked her when she filled in for Maddow Deminpenn Jun 2022 #64

I like her, but I still think Rachel is making a mistake to step aside. Vinca Jun 2022 #69
