So, to me it looks like a deliberate decision to bring in chief political anchor (Jake) despite the fact that he was away from the studio, while maintaining the manel in DC with Wolf.
If Jake hadn't been on the campaign trail I think they would have gone with the default scheme "Jake in DC + Anderson in NY" for such coverages.
However, it does explain how they managed to get some panel alongside Jake - this was originally pre-planned to discuss the interview with DeSantis.

She first appeared during the 9am hour of CNNNC.That is if the special coverage does not continue in the evening and override her show (however even in that case she'll likely still be on the air as a correspondent/panelist).
DC News Central anchoring team, for example, were left twiddling their thumbs and did not make any appearance on air today.
