The journalist also spoke briefly about his future plans and said:
“I do plan to continue to share my reporting and my perspective, and to cover politics the way I've been covering it with data, history, using that as important baselines and understanding where we were, where we are, and where we're going. I will let you know where I'll be planting my flag publicly very soon."
