Michelle Caruso-Cabrera is making a run for the U.S. House of Representatives… and she’s taking on a popular freshman Congresswoman.
The 53-year-old half-Cuban American journalist, business news reporter and CNBCcontributor has launched a campaign for the New York City Congressional seat currently held by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Caruso-Cabrera, an outspoken critic of government excess, will be running as a Democrat in the district, which stretches across the Bronx and Queens, though her political views position her significantly to the right of Ocasio-Cortez.
CNBC says she will go on leave from the network, where she has been a reporter and anchor for 20 years.
“I am the daughter and granddaughter of working-class Italian and Cuban immigrants,” Caruso-Cabrera said in a statement. “I am so lucky to have had such a wonderful career and I want everybody to have the opportunity that I’ve had. That’s why I’m running.”
Known by her initials, AOC, the 30-year-old political newcomer’s victory in 2018 was one of the high-profile wins as Democrats took control of the House of Representatives. Netflix captured the win in the documentary Bringing Down the House. Ocasio-Cortez has since racked up more than 6 million Twitter followers. Along with other progressives new to the U.S.Congress, she has become a frequent target of conservatives’ attacks on Democratic leadership.
In her 2010 book, You Know I’m Right: More Prosperity, Less Government, Caruso-Cabrera emphasizes themes like personal responsibility, fiscal conservatism and limited government.
Prior to joining CNBC, Caruso-Cabrera worked at Univision. She has appeared multiple times as a guest on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher. In a 2011 episode’s “Overtime” segment onYouTube, she promoted her book and defended CNBC against charges that it took a political stance similar to that of Fox News’ opinion hosts. She also described President Barack Obama as “extremely liberal” and misguided because he “believes that government can solve so many problems that it can’t,” such as health care.
The 25-year-old Colombian singer and songwriter will be celebrating his three Latin Grammy nominations with his fans as the headlining act of the 2019 Road to Innovation tour.
In its fifth year, Nissan and Univision continue their partnership for the live concert tour that features a series of performances in anticipation of the 20th annual Latin Grammy Awards.
Taking place in eight different U.S. cities, the Road to Innovation tourwill kick off on October 28 in Los Angeles and run until November 12 in Las Vegas.
The tour will also make pit stops in cities like Miami, Washington, D.C., Chicago and Phoenix, to name a few.
Yatra will be presenting songs from his latest studio album, Fantasia.
“Nissan is excited to celebrate Latin music’s top artists,” said Allyson Witherspoon, vice president of marketing, communications and media in a press statement. “For the fifth year, we’re partnering with Univision for the Road to Innovation Tour featuring Sebastian Yatra. This eight-city tour is an engaging way to connect with our consumers leading up to the Biggest Night in Latin Music.”
The tour will not only feature Yatra, but also a complete branded experience that concertgoers can enjoy, including Univision’s first-ever branded Uforia playlist featuring past Road to Innovation tour artists, sponsored by Nissan.
Previous artists include Karol G, Reykon and Farruko, to name a few.
“We are thrilled to once again renew this unique partnership with Nissan. With music being such an important passion point for the Hispanic audience, the Road to Innovation Tour has been the perfect vehicle to reach this valuable consumer,” said Steve Mandala, president of Advertising Sales and Marketing, Univision. “The program showcases Univision’s full suite of marketing capabilities across TV, radio and digital and continues to deliver high-impact results for our client.”

The 44-year-old Mexican American politician and presidential hopeful is one of 10 Democratic candidates who’ve qualified for the next debate.
ABC News and Univision will give each of the candidates slightly extra time to respond to questions than they were given at the last event, and they’ll be able to make opening statements but not closing remarks.
Since no more than 10 candidates made the cut to qualify, there will be just a single debate, on September 12.
It’ll air from 8:00-11:00 pm ET on ABC and Univision from Texas Southern University’s Health & PE Center in Houston.
ABC News has also announced where the candidates will be standing on the stage. The order, from left to right, will be: Amy Klobuchar, Corey Booker,Pete Buttigieg, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden,Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Andrew Yang, Beto O’Rourkeand Castro.
Candidates leading in the polls — Biden and Warren — were placed at the center, with the other candidates fanning out from that point based on their ranking.
ABC Newschief anchor George Stephanopoulos, World News Tonightanchor David Muir, correspondent Linsey Davisand Univision anchor Jorge Ramoswill moderate.
Candidates will be given one minute and 15 seconds to respond to direct questions, and 45 seconds for other responses and rebuttals, ABC News said. That is a bit more time than CNNallocated for its debate coverage on July 30-31, when candidates were given a minute to respond and 30 seconds for rebuttals. Some critics complained that candidates weren’t given enough time or had to abruptly finish when their time expired.

The Latin American boy band, formed on the first season of Univision’s La Banda, will headline Billboard En Vivo.
Billboard and Pepsi will co-produce the latest edition of Billboard En Vivo, now in its fourth year, as the program celebrates emerging LatinX music by giving passionate fans a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see chart-topping artists at private concerts in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami.

CNCO is currently in the studio finishing their upcoming new album set for release in September.
“We’re proud to give a platform to exciting LatinX artists through our continued partnership with Pepsi and best-in-class branded entertainment events,” said Leila Cobo, Vice President and Latin Industry Lead at Billboard. “It is really powerful to have our two iconic brands support artists and bring our community — and their most passionate fans — together with these dynamic and engaging concerts.”
Since their formation in 2015, the Latin Grammy-nominated band has dazzled the music industry as one of Latin pop’s most influential and prolific hit-makers. Comprised of five young Latinos from different nationalities –- Christopher (Ecuador), Erick Brian (Cuba), Joel (Mexico), Richard (Dominican Republic) and Zabdiel (Puerto Rico) –- the group emerged from Univision’s musical competition La Banda.

The 47-year-old half-Cuban American actor will voice rising sports streaming outlet DAZN‘s 40 Days, a new documentary series co-produced with LeBron James and Maverick Carter.
