(thread) Personal news: Starting in Feb., I will be the Chief Election & Campaign Correspondent for CBS News. My reporting will focus on the 2022 midterms, the 2024 election, and American democracy. Stay tuned for in-depth stories, scoops, investigations, and on-the-road reports.
CBS News president @Neerajkhemlani and I have had many conversations about the necessity of reporting the fragile state of American democracy & the need to break important stories across CBS News’ leading broadcast and streaming platforms ahead of 2022 midterms & 2024 election.
To my soon-to-be CBS News colleagues, your excellence on “CBS Evening News,” “CBS Mornings,” “Face the Nation,” “Sunday Morning,” “48 Hours,” “60 Minutes,” and CBS News streaming has set the pace in our field. I have much to learn from you and I'm excited to work with you.
Since Jan. 2014, I have been a reporter at The Washington Post. @Stevenjay recruited me and has been a true friend and guide. I've sat next to @PhilipRucker for years. Another true friend. Same with @DanBalz. Those three, and so many others, have been rocks in my life and career.
While I will now be working full-time at CBS News, it's important to me to keep a bond with The Post. CBS News, me, and The Post plan to collaborate on occasional special projects and investigations. I look forward to those joint efforts.
I also deeply appreciate and respect the entire Washington Post family: Sally Buzbee, Fred Ryan, Cameron Barr, Krissah, Tracy, Kris, Tammy, Matea, Carol, Ashley, Josh, Peter W., Weigel, Tom, Ros, Dan E., Paul K., Kathy, Scott, Marty, and so many others who have been in my corner.
Deep thanks, too, to Elsa & @realBobWoodward, who is the best reporter and mentor. To the wise and trustworthy Bob Barnett. And to Jon Karp and the team at S&S, my friends at @PBS @WashingtonWeek, and @MSNBC (@JoeNBC, Mika, @NicolleDWallace) for their support over the years.
