Meet the new Chelsea Handler.
The comedian announced Wednesday that she’s leaving her eponymous talk show on Netflix to pursue political activism, citing Trump’s presidency as a prime motivating factor.
“Like so many across the country, the past presidential election and the countless events that have unfolded since have galvanized me,” Handler wrote in a statement on Twitter. “From the national level down to the grassroots, it’s clear our decisions at the ballot box next year will mark a defining moment for our nation.”
