CNN host Rahel Solomon hit viewers with some breaking personal news on Monday when she announced live on-air that she was leaving the channel. Solomon shared she was quitting during the final segment of Early Start, the morning news show she has anchored since March 2025. “Okay, now to some personal news,” Solomon said after taking a brief pause and flashing a big smile. “We are grateful to Rahel for all her contributions to CNN over the past four years and are supportive of her decision,” a CNN spokesperson told Mediaite. She started as a business correspondent at CNN before getting her own show during the network’s lineup shakeup last year.
