In 2003, she left CBS to co-anchor CNBC’s show, Capital Report alongside Alan Murray. Her decision to leave CBS for CNBC was an interesting one, especially since CBS was more successful at the time.

Her response to questions about her choice was, “I’m not about eyeballs. This is about a new professional challenge for me. it’s a wonderful way to connect the dots between power and politics and economics inside Washington.”

Gloria Borger’s weight and wellness journey
Rumors around Gloria Borger’s health started to rise when the senior analyst stopped appearing on the network’s shows. For about a year now, Borger hasn’t been seen on any CNN shows, which has understandably caused some worry. Borger has not made any statements about her health or confirmed any of the rumors, but that hasn’t stopped people from treating them as fact.
Speculation about Borger’s health isn’t anything new. Over the years, all kinds of rumors have been circulated about her, from her allegedly secretly undergoing treatment for breast cancer, to her rumored plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures. A Reddit user speculated that Borger had lost about 66 pounds, praising her for lifestyle changes, such as a healthier diet and more exercise. Moreover, the user encouraged people not to speculate on Borger’s health, as there was no evidence that she was unwell. However, what’s most important is that Borger, who is now 72 years old, has never publicly confirmed any of the rumors about her health. So, no matter our causes for concern, and no matter how genuine, it’s best we continue to hope that Borger is doing well, and respect her privacy.
