Viewers tuning intoย Mornings with Mariaย this week were met with a glaring omission:ย no Maria. The longtime business anchor, known for her sharp interviews and Wall Street savvy, has been missing from the screen, prompting fans to sound off.โWhere is Maria Bartiromo?โย one fan posted on X.ย โHer experience and knowledge are needed during these tumultuous times. โMornings with Mariaโ not the same without, well, Maria.โ
With headlines swirling, and even references toย recent major news eventsย like the Charlie Kirk story and 9/11 anniversaries, viewers made it clear:ย they wanted answers.
The official word
According to Fox Business representatives, Maria is simplyย on vacation.ย No controversy, no emergency, just a well-earned break for one of the networkโs most influential voices.
While no return date has been announced, Bartiromo remains the face ofย Mornings with Maria,ย Sunday Morning Futures, andย Maria Bartiromoโs Wall Street.
From NYSE trailblazer to Fox News powerhouse
Bartiromoโs rรฉsumรฉ speaks for itself. Before joining Fox in 2014, she spentย 20 years at CNBC, where she became theย first journalist to report live from the floor of the New York Stock Exchangeย on a daily basis, marking a historic glass-ceiling moment that reshaped business TV.
Today, sheโs not only the face ofย Mornings with Maria, but also leadsย the highest-rated Sunday morning cable news show.
