CNN anchor Poppy Harlow says she is “fine” after passing out at the anchor desk Monday morning.
The anchor passed out soon after she began to slur her words and eventually passed out as she tried to introduce a segment on American’s attitudes on the war on terrorism.
An audible gasp was heard as a graphic of the latest CNN/ORC poll was displayed before the network cut to a commercial break. Several viewers immediately took to Twitter to say they hoped she was all right.
Thank you all for your concern and messages! I am ok! Passed out briefly and am with the doctor now. So thankful to our amazing CNN team.

Harlow later returned saying, “And for all of you on Twitter, who are asking if I’m OK, thank you so much. I got a little hot, and I passed out for a moment, I am fine.”
