DC Politics Reporter

Bloomberg News is seeking a reporter in Washington to cover U.S. politics as President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party struggle to defend their hold on power heading into decisive elections this fall and 2024. Top candidates will demonstrate a clear understanding of the American political landscape, including the enduring influence of Donald Trump and his impact on the Republican Party's prospects for retaking Congress and the White House. Ideal contenders will also show a firm grasp of the philosophical battles unfolding inside the Democratic party, between its moderate and progressive wings. This reporter will be expected to land scoops from a deep network of sources driven by a desire to beat the competition at every turn. We also expect strong enterprise coverage that clearly explains the consequences of U.S. electoral politics to Bloomberg's sophisticated world-wide audience.
