Fox News Media announced on Thursday that it is ending its long-standing relationship with business anchor Maria Bartiromo, effective immediately. The company cited no specific reason for the decision, calling it a "business decision." Fox News spokesperson confirmed the move, expressing gratitude to Bartiromo for her contributions over the past 12-1/2 years and wishing her the best in her future endeavors.
Bartiromo, who had been with Fox News Media since 2013, hosted several shows, including "Mornings with Maria," "Maria Bartiromo's Wall Street," and "Sunday Morning Futures." She also made history by being the first journalist to provide live reports from the New York Stock Exchange floor.
Her sudden departure follows the recent exit of Karoline Leavitt, who left her role as White House press secretary. However, Vice President JD Vance, when asked about Bartiromo potentially becoming the next press secretary, dismissed the speculation, stating, "No, I don’t think so."
Vance expressed his admiration for Bartiromo, calling her an "amazing person and an amazing talent." He also declined to get involved in any personal drama surrounding media stations.
