Former Democratic National Chairwoman Donna Brazile has announced that she will no longer serve as a contributor on FOX News. Instead, she will step into a similar role with ABC News. Her decision is not entirely surprising because she has made several appearances on ABC’s This Week over the last two years. FOX News attempted to keep her on board, but she felt it was best to return to ABC News.
“When my contract expired, they offered me an additional 2-4 years,” she told The Daily Beast.
“But I decided to return to ABC.”
Despite leaving FOX News for ABC News, she does not regret her time at her former employer. While there, she was one of a handful of Democrats at the network.
“There’s an audience on FOX News that doesn’t hear enough from Democrats,” Brazile explained.
“We have to engage that audience and show Americans of every stripe what we stand for rather than retreat into our ‘safe spaces’ where we simply agree with each other. For there is no safety in self-limiting numbers.”
Brazile will make her start at ABC News in the coming months.
