I am a politics reporter covering breaking news for NBC News, based in Washington, D.C. I cover the latest actions by the Trump administration, Congress and both political parties.

I broke news on Biden’s controversial commencement address at Morehouse College, Scott’s comments about striking federal workers and the presidential candidates’ tactics to win over voters of color.
