When Is Andrea Mitchell's Last Day Before Leaving MSNBC News?
Let's explore the latest updates, her statements, and the impact on MSNBC and NBC News.
Andrea Mitchell will leave MSNBC as an anchor on Friday, February 7, 2025, after 17 years of hosting Andrea Mitchell Reports.
Mitchell first announced her departure in October 2024, stating, 'After sixteen years of being in the anchor chair every day, I want time to do more of what I love the most: more connecting, listening, and reporting in the field' (via Deadline). She will continue as NBC News' Chief Washington Correspondent and Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent, while also covering major breaking news across NBC platforms, including MSNBC.
Mitchell confirmed her final day during Monday's broadcast, saying, 'My goal will continue as it has always been: to bring you, our viewers, the major newsmakers shaping our country and the world right here on MSNBC.' She emphasized that her new role would let her cover events from a 'different vantage point' without a daily program schedule. (via Entertainment Weekly)
In October last year, she highlighted the importance of reporting as the next administration 'undertakes the monumental task of handling two foreign wars and the political divisions here at home.'
Mitchell began anchoring Andrea Mitchell Reports in 2008, establishing it as MSNBC's longest-running daytime program. The network has not yet announced a successor for her show.
Mitchell's departure follows NBC News' political director Chuck Todd, who left the network a week earlier. Additionally, Comcast plans to spin off MSNBC later in 2025, separating it from NBC News.

Gavin Newsom takes on Trump at his own game: From the Politics Desk
Welcome to the online version of From the Politics Desk, a newsletter that brings you the NBC News Politics team's latest reporting and analysis from the White House, Capitol Hill and the campaign trail. In today's edition, we dive into how California Gov. Gavin Newsom's bare-knuckled approach to fighting the GOP is drawing attention on the left and the right. Plus, Jonathan Allen examines whether President Donald Trump's strategy for dealing with Russian President Vladimir Putin has reached its breaking point. Sign up to receive this newsletter in your inbox every weekday here. — Adam Wollner Gavin Newsom strikes a nerve — and seizes the spotlight — as he treads on Trump's turf By Natasha Korecki, Sahil Kapur and Katherine Doyle After months of escalating attacks against President Donald Trump, California Gov. Gavin Newsom seems to have finally hit a nerve by hijacking his tactics. Newsom has put California at the center of Democrats' campaign against a Trump-backed effort in Texas to pad the GOP's U.S. House majority, countering with a rare, mid-decade redistricting proposal of his own. All the while, he's flooded social media with a steady stream of all-caps screeds mocking the president's signature style. It's commanded a whirlwind of national attention, from Democrats and Republicans alike, that few in Newsom's party have been able to manage during Trump's second term. Over the past 48 hours alone, Newsom was singled out by former President Barack Obama for his 'responsible approach' to redrawing California's congressional maps; by Vice President JD Vance, who slammed him in a Fox News interview for trying to mimic Trump; and by Trump himself on Truth Social. 'Triggered?' Newsom responded to Trump. For Newsom, who is on the short list of potential 2028 White House hopefuls, it all comes as the Democratic Party's base above all else is itching for a fighter to take on Trump and the GOP. 'He would like to be the nominee in '28. Is he succeeding on getting that kind of attention? Yes, he is,' said Willie Brown, the former San Francisco mayor and state House speaker who's a longtime friend and political mentor to Newsom. The view on the right: Trump's MAGA allies have teed off on Newsom's social media assault, arguing that he was embarrassing himself, wasting public resources and wasn't actually the one posting. But Steve Bannon, a former Trump White House aide, offered praise for Newsom's 'brilliant' political gambit. 'This really shows how much Trump has changed modern politics. You have to be on offense, and you have to break through the media white noise, and it's not as much policy-driven as attitude- and style-driven,' Bannon told NBC News. 'He's done something that no other Democrat has done. He's energized these guys. He's trying to instill the fighting spirit in a very dispirited party that has lost 4 million people. You have to put the guidon on a hill, and you have to rally the troops around something.' Read more → Why Trump may need to treat Putin like Putin treats Zelenskyy Analysis by Jonathan Allen President Donald Trump has tried to lure Russian leader Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table with a buffet of sugar-coated carrots. Their lack of efficacy suggests it might be time for Trump to try a few sticks. Consider last week, when Trump rolled out the red carpet for Putin, who is considered a war criminal in much of the world, at a hastily planned summit on American soil. What did Trump get? Not much. Putin obliged Trump by agreeing that Russia did not interfere in the 2016 election, despite U.S. intelligence reports to the contrary. It's a take that not only fed the president's ego but reinforced Russia's generations-long effort to sow division among American voters. Putin's testament to a lack of interference, in other words, served as its own form of interference. But what Trump did not get from Putin was a promise to end Russia's war against Ukraine, or even a plan to talk with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. This week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov established a high bar of conditions for the Russian and Ukrainian leaders to meet, saying Putin would sit down with Zelenskyy once all of the issues between the two countries are resolved and if Putin is convinced that Zelenskyy has the legitimate authority to sign a peace deal. Trump required no concession from Putin before elevating the Russian president by bringing him to the U.S., sitting down with him privately, and appearing at side-by-side rostrums for a glorified photo-op. By contrast, Putin treats Zelenskyy as a fake president and, by extension, treats Ukraine like a fake country. That shouldn't be surprising, as Putin began trying to reabsorb Ukraine into Russia by force more than a decade ago. But it may provide a lesson for Trump about the art of diplomacy. Putin has little incentive to end his war or even offer concessions so long as Trump portrays him as an equal, and his country as a global power. Right now, the public discussion being convened by Trump revolves around what Ukraine will have to cede to Russia to get Putin to call off his army. There's no real external pressure on Putin. Trump could seek to cripple the Russian economy, which is less than one-tenth the size of America's, with greater economic sanctions. Instead of requiring Ukraine to pay for American protection with future mineral yields, he could give Zelenskyy more weaponry and bless — or even publicly assist — Ukrainian strikes on Russia. Rather than elevate Putin, Trump could castigate, ostracize and humiliate him with the kind of blistering rhetoric that Trump has to date reserved for Zelenskyy. If continuing the war costs Putin nothing — not even his stature in the eyes of the most powerful man in the world — there is little reason for him to stop. And maybe there's nothing the U.S. could do, short of handing him Ukraine, that would lead to a ceasefire. But deep into the first year of a presidency that he vowed would automatically bring an end to the war, Trump's carrots have fed the Russian bear without sating it. Appeasement isn't working. Sticks might be a better strategy both for protecting Ukraine and for fulfilling the promise to broker a peace deal. 🗞️ Today's other top stories ⚖️ In the courts: A New York appeals court dismissed a $500 million civil fraud penalty against Trump and his companies for routinely overvaluing their properties in financial statements.

Man living next to Hispanic-owned business puts up sign urging Trump to deport his neighbors
A North Carolina man who says he's upset about the business next door to his home has put up a sign in his yard asking President Donald Trump to deport people in his neighborhood. 'BUILD THE WALL/DEPORT THEM ALL/TRUMP START WITH MY NEIGHBORHOOD FIRST' reads the sign that Douglas Dietrich placed at his home in Grifton, Pitt County. The news was first reported by WITN. Dietrich lives next door to the automotive, aircraft and boat repair business Monkeys Garage, owned by Enrique Garfias. According to WITN, Garfias told them that he was a 'legal citizen of the United States' and that he found the sign offensive, since it was targeted at him. Garfias said he thinks there is racism behind Dietrich's sign. He added that Dietrich has problems 'not just with Hispanic people' but that he targets Hispanic people more, because 'he thinks he can do it to us.' 'There is so much hate already. I don't hate him,' Garfias said. 'He thinks he's right. People out there are gonna see what he's doing is not right.' Calls to Garfias' business and other phone numbers were not answered. A call by NBC News on Thursday to a number believed to belong to Dietrich disconnected before anyone spoke. When called again, the person who responded said 'Stop f---ing calling me' and hung up. Dietrich told WITN that part of the reason he was upset was because Monkeys Garage was able to operate in a residential neighborhood. He said that years ago he wanted to operate a business on the property where Monkeys Garage is, but was told by previous town officials he couldn't do so because it's in a residential neighborhood. The dispute has led to conflicting comments on social media as community members have weighed in. Dietrich said the social media attention leads him to want to keep the sign in place. There were questions raised over whether Dietrich's sign was in compliance with local regulations in Grifton and its extraterritorial jurisdiction, which is where Dietrich lives. 'Everyone has the right to freedom of speech,' Dylan Haman, town manager of Grifton, told NBC News. 'Whether anyone agrees with what the sign says or not that's up to the public and whether or not they think it's a neighborly thing to do is another question.' While the town of less than 3,000 has to respect Dietrich's right to freedom of speech, the town does have zoning rules about permit requirements, where signs can be located, their size and height, etc., Haman said. 'He can say anything from, 'I love Jesus' to political. We don't get into that because that's a First Amendment issue,' he said. A permit application for the sign was submitted Wednesday, Haman said. A determination on whether the sign complies with the local sign ordinance might come at the end of the week, the town manager said, adding that and 'there are some regulations about what's allowed in residential districts' that have to be considered too. Haman said there had not been considerations yet on whether the sign could lead to people targeting Garfias and his business or some kind of violence. 'We are not pro or against any political party ... We are just a town trying to provide service,' Haman said, who noted that the town board is elected in unaffiliated elections. 'We just encourage everybody to be more neighborly.' This article was originally published on Solve the daily Crossword

Trump VP JD Vance makes liberals explode: ‘Lying through his teeth'
Vice President JD Vance continued his tour touting President Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' in Georgia on Thursday — but one of his points raised the eyebrows of critics. While speaking to a crowd in Peachtree City, Vance aimed to promote how the GOP's sweeping budget bill could help working-class American families. During his remarks, he tore into former President Joe Biden's administration, claiming that some of its policies have caused rural hospitals to struggle as a result. 'So what we did is we put a lot of resources and a lot of changes and regulations to make it possible for rural hospitals to stay open, despite what the Biden administration did to them for four years,' Vance told residents just outside of Atlanta. Since Trump signed his signature policy package into law last month, rural hospitals across the country have maintained that they now have to consider tough choices, including affording services or even closing down their facilities, NBC News reported, as well as other outlets and organizations. Many rural hospitals rely on Medicaid funding, given they serve a higher share of low-income patients compared to other areas — but according to KFF, a health policy research group, the bill could lead to around 17 million people losing their health care coverage due to changes to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. Meanwhile, Democratic lawmakers have argued that nearly 300 rural hospitals are at risk of shutting down due to the legislation. It includes a federal spending cut more than $1 trillion over a decade from health care and food assistance, mainly stemming from new work requirements for those receiving aid and differences in how states can fund their programs through a provider tax. The bill also contains a $50 billion fund called the Rural Health Transformation Program, which has been framed as a way to offset losses for providers due to some of its provisions. Vance's comments were met with pushback from some social media users. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) tore into his claims about rural hospitals, writing on X that 'Donald Trump's Big Ugly Bill puts 29 rural hospitals in New York on the chopping block.' 'Lying through his teeth,' she said. 'We will hold you — and your boss — accountable." MeidasTouch, a progressive network, posted that 'Rural hospitals are literally closing because of this bill. He is lying. This is beyond cruel and evil.' One user said: 'At least he believes what he's saying. Doesn't help all of the rural clinics that had to close because they lost funding. Or the major hospitals that had to cut back on services because their funding was pulled as well.' 'The simplicity in which he lies should be really concerning to people. Thankfully he's about as likable as sitting on a thumbtack,' a different user said. Someone had attached a screenshot of a story from Health Affairs, which argues that the bill does not protect rural hospitals, adding 'No, you guys are going to close rural hospitals.' Vance also went on to say that the Trump administration's health care policy is 'very simple.' 'Whether you're in a big city or a small town, we're going to fight for your access to health care. Whether you're an American citizen who's been here for 70 years, or an American citizen who's been here for two years, we're going to fight for your access to a government that serves you,' Vance said. 'But if you're an illegal alien, you do not deserve government-paid health care benefits. You need to get out of our country, and that's simple as that,' he continued.
