**Leon Harris, a WRC news anchor, “will be stepping away from the anchor desk** to focus on health issues,” stated WRC.

“We here at NBC4 — and you at home — care deeply about Leon and wish him well. We thank you for your concern,” WRC added.

Harris, who delivers the network’s nightly broadcast at 4 p.m. and 5 p.m., sparked concern over his words during Thursday (November 28) night’s telecast, reports *The Independent.*

“In a clip of the moment shared on X/Twitter, Harris, 63, can be seen struggling to speak fluently while discussing a water main break that occurred in the D.C. area, as well as the recent arrest of four suspects accused of vandalizing the American Israel Public Affairs Committee building,” states *The Independent.*

“NBC 4’s 6 pm newscast went to a full weather segment and is now airing a long taped segment after anchor Leon Harris struggled to deliver the news at the top of the hour,” sports journalist **A.J. Perez** noted, adding that “no news has been delivered from the anchor desk in more than 20 mins.”

Meteorologist **Ryan Miller** told viewers during the broadcast that NBC 4 had received “a lot” of worried messages inquiring about Harris’s wellbeing.

Harris joined NBC4 in 2017 after 21 years anchoring CNN in Atlanta.
