Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who recently banned a journalist from her weekly press briefings, will be joining the world of journalism on election night as an analyst for ABC News, according to the network.
Baltimore's outgoing mayor will be part of the ABC News production on one of the biggest TV journalism nights of the year. She will be among several analysts.
"Contributors Bill Kristol, Kristen Soltis Anderson, Alex Castellanos and Stephanie Cutter along with Baltimore Mayor and Secretary of the DNC Stephanie Rawlings-Blake will round out the team of analysts who will weigh in throughout the evening," the ABC release says.
George Stephanopolous, a former communications director for President Bill Clinton who donated $75,000 to the Clinton Foundation without disclosing it to ABC viewers, will lead the network's coverage.
Blake banned P. Kenneth Burns, a reporter at public radio station WYPR, for what she described as "verbally and physically threatening behavior." Multiple reporters who cover city government with Burns have said they witnessed no such behavior by him.
The Baltimore Association of Black Journalists formally called on the mayor to lift her ban.
A spokesman for Rawlings-Blake did not immediately return a call requesting comment about her ABC appearance.
