The unexpected death of political pundit Alice Stewart has drawn immediate response from her colleagues in the CNN newsroom and beyond.
Stewart was found dead outdoors in her Bellevue neighborhood in northern Virginia early Saturday morning. No foul play is suspected, and officers believe a medical emergency occurred with the 58-year-old.
She was a regular contributor to CNN and had a strong social media presence. Stewart also built a lengthy resume as a political communications head on several campaigns.

— Chris Christie (@GovChristie) May 18, 2024My heart is broken over the passing of our dear colleague Alice Stewart. We’ve been friends going back to the 2012 campaign.
