She’s a journalist who is best known as a White House correspondent for CNN, and her name has become increasingly familiar in political reporting circles. Over the years, she’s built a solid reputation not just at CNN, but also through her appearances on Washington Week and C-Span, where her insights have resonated with audiences. Her career path includes notable stints at respected outlets like The Washington Post and POLITICO, where she sharpened her skills as a dedicated journalist.

Before rising to national prominence, she completed her education at Harvard University, graduating in 2010 with a degree in Government. While still in school, she contributed to the Harvard Crimson, showing early promise in journalism. That experience helped pave the way for her first major role at The Washington Post. In 2016, she made a pivotal move by joining CNN—just in time to cover one of the most turbulent periods in recent U.S. politics: the Trump Administration. It was during this time that her name started gaining wider recognition.

Born and raised in Bowie, Maryland, she maintains a relatively grounded personal life despite her growing public profile. In November 2018, she shared a sweet moment with her husband Marcus on Instagram, giving fans a glimpse into her private world. The couple welcomed their daughter, Naomi Angelina Richardson, in August 2021—an event that brought even more joy to their lives. Through each chapter, her name continues to stand out in the world of political journalism.
