Nate Silver is departing ABC News as the news division continues a round of layoffs that began last month. The FiveThirtyEight founder wrote on Twitter, “Disney layoffs have substantially impacted FiveThirtyEight.

I am sad and disappointed to a degree that’s kind of hard to express right now. We’ve been at Disney almost 10 years. My contract is up soon and I expect that I’ll be leaving at the end of it.” “I had been worried about an outcome like this and so have had some great initial conversations about opportunities elsewhere.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch. I am so proud of the work of FiveThirtyEight staff. It has never been easy. I’m so sorry to the people impacted by this.” The news division began a phased rollout of job reductions in late March, impacting about 50 people total.

The network will retain the FiveThirtyEight brand. It was founded in 2008. Silver brought the blog to ESPN in 2013, and it was moved to ABC News in 2018.
