Jordan continued to appear on ‘Hannity’ on a sporadic basis until 2014, when he decided to try out a more challenging environment. She had mostly lived in a conservative bubble since leaving Yale. Her time in the Bush administration and at Fox News did not put her personal beliefs and agendas to the test. That changed in January 2016, when she joined NBC News and MSNBC. She is regularly challenged by the hosts on MSNBC, which is now regarded as the progressive equivalent of Fox News, which she had rarely experienced during her time at Fox.
In 2018, Elise and her co-host, political consultant Steve Schmidt, launched the ‘Words Matter’ podcast.
