As the new year rolls on and the new president takes office, Fox News has announced they will not be renewing contracts of several prominent contributors. A network spokesperson has confirmed that conservative political commentator George Will, actress Stacey Dash, and Republican strategist Ed Rollins will not be renewing their contracts with Fox News, along with journalist Marvin Kalb and columnist Cal Thomas.

Once dubbed “the most powerful journalist in America” by The Wall Street Journal, 75-year-old George Will made headlines throughout the election cycle for his outspoken opposition to now-President Donald Trump. Will announced in June 2016 that he was leaving the Republican party and changing his voter registration status to “unaffiliated.”

“This is not my party,” Will said at the time. “Make sure he loses,” he told GOP voters, referring to Trump. He left ABC in 2011 after 30 years with the network to join Fox News in 2013.

The news comes after the announcement of British political Nigel Farage coming on board as a contributor for Fox. Farage led the UK Independence party from 2006 to 2009 and again from 2010 to 2016. He is an avid Trump supporter, and was ranked second in The Daily Telegraph’s “Top 100 Most Influential Right Wingers” in 2013.
