I'm a politics reporter covering the Trump White House and the 2026 midterm elections. My coverage at WIRED has focused on the intersection of the two major forces shaping policy in the administration: Silicon Valley tech barons and the nationalist-populist wing of the GOP. I previously covered the 2024 campaign and 2022 midterms for The Daily Beast, breaking impactful scoops and revealing the quirky sides of political personalities politicians often don't want the public to see. A recurring theme during my time authoring the Trail Mix campaign newsletter was the new era of online campaigning and the rise of political influencers, which I have since written about in more depth for the Columbia Journalism Review.
