Univision news anchor León Krauze departs after network’s controversial Trump interview
LA TimesLeón Krauze, a veteran news anchor for Univision and its Los Angeles TV station, has resigned in the aftermath the Spanish-language network’s recent interview with former President Trump. Parent company TelevisaUnivision said in a statement that it “expresses our heartfelt gratitude for the outstanding contributions, expertise, and insightful analyses delivered by León Krauze throughout his tenure with our news division.We extend our best wishes to Leon in all his future professional endeavors.” Krauze became anchor of Univision’s late-night newscast in January 2022. Univision news personnel have reportedly been concerned in recent days over the network’s hour-long broadcast with Trump, where the contender for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination went on at length with incorrect statements that received little pushback. “They’re unbelievable entrepreneurial people, and they like me.” Having Univision as a friendly platform for Trump is likely to create angst in the Democratic party and President Biden’s re-election campaign.
