Allan Smith
I am a politics reporter focused on enterprise covering the trends, campaigns, people and ideas shaping politics and policy in the U.S. The 2024 cycle was my third presidential campaign, and I have spent years reporting on Donald Trump, the American right and several key battleground states — including my native Pennsylvania — that have shaped policy and political discourse in the country.
