Chris Jansing to cover White House for NBC

NBC News announced an expansion of its political team on Friday, including the promotion of Chris Jansing to Senior White House Correspondent and Peter Alexander to National Correspondent.

Jansing, who will report primarily for "NBC Nightly News," will relocate from New York to Washington and will stop hosting her MSNBC show "Jansing & Co." The network said her replacement will be announced in the coming weeks.

Alexander, who currently serves as a White House correspondent, will expand his reporting to cover "national affairs beyond Washington D.C.," Turness and Todd wrote.

“Peter’s versatility and talents as a modern day storyteller will now be seen across a wider range of NBC broadcasts and platforms. In addition to enhancing our coverage, we hope that this new structure will also allow Chuck Todd to dedicate more of his time to the signature razor-sharp analysis and expertise that our audiences can’t get enough of," Turness said.
