On December 1, 2022, it was reported that Cabrera was expected to leave the network and join NBC News.[8] Two weeks later, Cabrera confirmed the report stating, "My heart is full of gratitude for the incredible opportunities I've had at CNN to serve our viewers and to work alongside extraordinary journalists ... But after nearly a decade at CNN, I'm making the personal decision to explore a new professional chapter. Time to embrace new challenges and opportunities."[9] Her last broadcast on CNN aired on December 22.[10]
On April 10, 2023, Cabrera began as the anchor for the 10 a.m. hour block of MSNBC Reports.[11]
