In brief

Gloria Borger (born September 22, 1952) is an American journalist and political analyst recognized for her extensive career in covering national politics, most notably as CNN's chief political analyst from 2007 until her departure in December 2024. Borger, a graduate of Colgate University, launched her professional journey in 1976 at the Washington Star, progressing to roles such as political columnist at U.S. News & World Report and chief congressional correspondent at Newsweek. At CNN, she contributed regular commentary on programs including The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, offering explanations of Washington dynamics to a broad audience, though her work unfolded within mainstream media institutions frequently observed to exhibit systemic left-leaning biases in political coverage.

Gloria Borger was born on September 22, 1952, in New Rochelle, New York, into a Jewish family. Her father, Richard Borger, owned Borger's, a company that distributed electrical appliances and supplies. The family resided in New Rochelle, a suburb north of New York City, where Borger spent her childhood.
