After Norah O’Donnell was named anchor of the “CBS Evening News” in May, she received a congratulatory email from Maureen Orth, the widow of Tim Russert, the late NBC Washington bureau chief and “Meet the Press” moderator.
“CBS Evening News” has long trailed “ABC World News With David Muir” and “NBC Nightly News With Lester Holt” in the ratings, although the program has narrowed the gap with its competitors since O’Donnell has been in the anchor chair. Ratings for all network news programs have been in decline as consumers spend less time with traditional TV outlets.
O’Donnell’s ascension to the anchor job in July 2019 was championed by Susan Zirinsky during her tenure as president of CBS News. Zirinsky moved out of that job in April, replaced by Nareej Khemlani and Wendy McMahon as co-presidents and co-head of CBS News and Stations in a reorganization of the two divisions.

$15 Minimum Wage Won t Be a Reality for Most Americans Until 2025, Even if It Passes
On 2/22/21 at 11:50 AM EST
Democrats may be poised to pass a plan to increase the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour; however, the immediate impact on Americans paychecks would be much smaller, and it d be four years before most of the country reaches the $15 threshold.
President Joe Biden s $1.9 trillion package includes a plan to gradually increase the federal minimum wage, starting with an increase to $9.50 in 2021. States are required to meet the federal minimums, meaning its passage would bring the entire country to $15 in 2025, but employees across five states could reach the threshold sooner.
President Biden delivers remarks on the national economy on Friday.
President Biden said on Friday that his plan to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour is unlikely to happen as part of his $1.9 trillion COVID-19 aid package. I don t think it s going to survive, Biden said in an excerpt of a
CBS Evening Newsinterview with Norah O Donnell released ahead of the Super Bowl. The full interview is scheduled to air on Sunday.
Democrats in Congress are moving to advance the aid package using a procedure known as budget reconciliation. Biden said in the interview that the rules of the United States Senate probably mean that the minimum wage hike will have to be dropped.
