"I have had the most unbelievable three years helping to craft the show, building this community, and telling stories, and sharing the truth every day through The Comments Section. You all have made me braver, more articulate, more thoughtful, more hopeful than I could have ever imagined and I'm grateful that we spent this time together."
After thanking The Daily Wire, Cooper explained that she has decided to pursue new challenges at this stage of her career. While the individual did not specify her plans, she said she would "share" them soon:
"I'm grateful that the Daily Wire gave us a platform to grow this community, but at this point in my life, I am ready to take on a new direction, both personally and professionally. This means new challenges and new Endeavors which I will share with you soon."
