Margaret Brennan Career

Brennan began her business news career in 2002 at CNBC as a producer for prominent financial journalist Louis Rukeyser. She wrote, did research, and booked guests for the weekly Louis Rukeyser's Wall Street program and prime-time specials.

Brennan later worked as a producer on Street Signs with Ron Insana, for which she coordinated guest bookings and produced interviews with former President George W. Bush and former Secretary of State Colin Powell.

As a CNBC correspondent, she covered the financial crisis with a focus on consumer issues.

She conducted interviews with former Walmart CEO Lee Scott and Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen. She broke the story of Circuit City's liquidation in 2009 and regularly covered changing consumer trends for the network.

On June 24, 2009, Margaret Brennan left CNBC to join Bloomberg Television:

At Bloomberg, she anchored InBusiness with Margaret Brennan, a weekday program broadcast live from the New York Stock Exchange that covered the top political, economic and global financial news impacting the marketplace. During her tenure, she broadcast live from Riyadh, Dubai, Cairo, London, Dublin, Abu Dhabi, and Davos. Brennan covered top breaking news stories involving the European debt crisis, the largest insider trading case in U.S. history, and the BP oil spill. She anchored live from Tahrir Square as Hosni Mubarak stepped down after 30 years in power.

Additionally, Brennan has interviewed the International Monetary Fund's Christine Lagarde, investor George Soros, and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair as well as Ireland's Prime Minister and Dubai's ruler during their respective debt crises.

She also helped to anchor coverage of Bloomberg's 2012 Republican presidential candidate debates.

Brennan left Bloomberg in 2012; on AprilĀ 27, 2012, she hosted her last show of InBusiness. No reason was given for her departure other than the chance to pursue new opportunities.

Brennan joined CBS News in July 2012 and has been based in Washington since that time. She reported on the White House throughout the Obama and Trump administrations for CBS programs and is a substitute anchor on CBS This Morning and the CBS Evening News. Brennan was also part of the CBS News team honored with a 2012-2013 Alfred I. Dupont-Columbia Award for coverage of the Newtown tragedy.

Brennan's reporting has taken her to Tehran, Baghdad, Kabul, Beijing, and Havana. She has covered diplomatic negotiations, including the nuclear deal with Iran, the chemical weapons deal in Syria, and the reopening of relations with Cuba. She conducted the first US interview with South Korean President Park Geun-Hye, covering the president's hardline policy against North Korea.

The interview made headlines in Pyongyang and Seoul, where Brennan's etiquette was the topic of a morning show.

She was also among the first reporters to interview Hillary Clinton about the fatal attack on the US mission in Benghazi, Libya.

At a press conference on September 9, 2013, she asked Secretary of State John Kerry about any possibility for the Syrian government to avoid a U.S. strike. Kerry's answer, that Assad could "turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community in the next week" (although later his answer was retracted as "a rhetorical argument about the impossibility and unlikelihood of Assad turning over chemical weapons he has denied using" by a State Department spokesperson), led Russia's foreign minister Sergey V. Lavrov to propose this as a solution to the crisis.

On February 22, 2018, she was named the 10th moderator of Face the Nation, the CBS Sunday morning political interview program, becoming the second woman to moderate the program.

Mitch McConnell, 81, insists he has 'completely recovered' after freezing twice in public but refuses to answer when asked if he is fit to continue serving in Congress

The 81-year-old Kentucky senator said he has been completely recovered after an interview with CBS News, and he still has the necessary faculties to do his jobs. Margaret Brennan, the moderator of 'Face the Country,' continued to quiz the politician on whether there is anything the public should know about his wellbeing, triggering McConnell's reaction where he begged for them to change the subject.' It was the first time McConnell, the country's second most influential figure, spoke out about the incidents since last month, where he said he had no plans to resign prematurely even after the most recent event in August. The Republican debated topics from Israel to the House Speaker race ahead of his investigations into his health, but Brennan's later line of inquiry was largely dismissed. He was first elected and re-elected many times in 1985, but his term did not expire until 2027. He has stated that he does not intend to resign.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stumbles as she's called out for owning a pricey Tesla electric vehicle rather than a union-made option - but insists that she's been 'looking into' trading it in

Despite several run-ins with the world's richest man, the New York congresswoman came under fire in 2021 when it emerged she had purchased a $35,000 Model 3 from Elon Musk's defiantly non-unionized firm. She said she would 'love to switch' from a unionized vehicle last year, but viewers were left wondering about her latency on CBS' Face the Country yesterday. 'Is it a problem with the quality, is it a problem with the style, is the market just not there?' Margaret Brennan, host Margaret Brennan, was the host. 'Are we told our car was bought during the pandemic when traveling, mass, before a vaccine was developed, so traveling between New York and Washington was the most secure way we could have found was an EV,' she said.
