CNBC White House correspondent and anchor Kayla Tausche is leaving the business news channel after 13 years.
“As for what’s next, I’ll have more to say on that soon,” she wrote on Twitter. “For now, I’m going to take some downtime – with no deadlines looming – for the first time in too long. Will I be able to truly unplug? We’ll find out.”
Tausche moved to Washington in 2017 to cover the White House and politics.
Before moving to DC, Tausche was an on-air correspondent and co-anchor of CNBC’s “Squawk Alley,” where she focused on the big money backing technology and innovation. She has also covered the banking industry as well as corporate finance and deals.
While at CNBC, Tausche has broken numerous stories and reported on a wide variety of high-profile events, including the historic Brexit vote, the Facebook, Twitter and Alibaba IPOs, the Occupy Wall Street movement, and the News Corp. phone hacking scandal.
Tausche began her journalism career with posts at the Associated Press in Brussels, Bloomberg News in New York, and DealReporter in New York and London.
