Norah O’Donnell is stepping down from her role as anchor and managing editor of “CBS Evening News,” the network announced on Tuesday.

The veteran journalist will remain with the network in a senior correspondent capacity, which will allow O’Donnell to focus her attention on major sit-down interview specials across platforms, according to Puck News, who first reported the departure. She will continue contributing to other CBS News programs. 

O’Donnell will leave the anchor chair following the 2024 election, with the network noting new plans for the show will come in the days ahead. She recently celebrated her fifth year in the anchor position.
