Maria Elena Salinas CBS debut

María Elena Salinas debuts on “CBS This Morning”

August 7, 2019 by Veronica Villafañe

María Elena Salinas will make her first appearance on “CBS This Morning” since she was named CBS News contributor last month.

Her debut is August 8.

Salinas will be live in studio to discuss the latest news on the El Paso shooting and the reaction from the Hispanic community locally and across the country.

CBS announced her participation in tomorrow’s show late in the day. Minutes later, Salinas responded on social media: “Looking forward to it! Can’t wait to sit down with the amazing @CBSThisMorning team. Wish it was under better circumstances.”

Update 8/8/19: CBS tweeted about the former Univision anchor’s arrival to the morning show and uploaded clips of her analysis of the El Paso shooting.

“There’s many people who don’t go out and vote. You know, the percentage of people that go out and vote, the turnout is very low among Latinos but that has been changing in the last elections.” — @MariaESalinas pic.twitter.com/cXoqxJWv3u

    Replace ‘pretentious faux eye glasses’ gayle

    Leave it with Tony and Maria to do CBS in the morning. The others have been there too long. And Gayle King is only there because she is Oprah’s audience that will follow her to Gayle King

    No, it’s Michelle Miller that needs to go. She makes every story about herself. Pay attention and you’ll see how many times she uses the word”I”. Drives me crazy.

    I think it mean for person to lose a job over another so how would you like it if your boss came in and replace you.
