Chris Wallace leaving CNN after 3 years

• He correctly said last Tuesday "it would be a miracle" if Vice President Harris won the presidential election after the network's exit poll indicated dissatisfaction with the Biden administration.

Driving the news: Wallace told the Daily Beast streaming and podcasting is "where the action seems to be," citing the influence of podcasters including Joe Rogan and Charlamagne tha God during the presidential election.

• "I don't flatter myself to think I will have that sort of reach," said the 77-year-old son of "60 Minutes" journalist Mike Wallace.
• "This is the first time in 55 years I've been between jobs," Wallace added. "I am actually excited and liberated by that."

What they're saying: "Chris Wallace is one of the most respected political journalists in the news business with a unique track record across radio, print, broadcast television, cable television and streaming," said Mark Thompson, CEO and chair of CNN, in an emailed statement Monday evening.

• "We want to thank him for the dedication and wisdom he's brought to all his work at CNN and to wish him the very best for the future."
