We are thrilled to announce that Karen Tumulty will be returning to the Politics & Government desk in News to serve as chief political correspondent, taking the baton from the departing Dan Balz to produce the Sunday Take along with reported columns, features and news analysis about Washington and national politics. This is a homecoming for Karen, who spent eight years on the politics team before moving to Opinions in 2018 to write a reported column.

She served as moderator of two presidential primary debates — a Republican one The Post sponsored with Bloomberg in 2012 and a Democratic one with Univision in 2016. In 2014, she won the Toner Prize for what the judges described as 'engaging reporting on politicians' such as then-Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. Ted Cruz, prescient stories about the shifting political landscape in West Virginia and a poignant profile of a Vietnam veteran who gave his 101st Airborne screaming eagle patch to then-Sen. Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign. Before joining The Post in 2010, Karen spent 15 years at Time magazine, where she wrote or co-wrote more than 40 cover stories about Congress, the White House and national politics. Before that, she worked 14 years at the L.A. Times in Los Angeles, Washington and New York and briefly at the San Antonio Light, her hometown paper. She is also the author of the 2021 book 'The Triumph of Nancy Reagan,' a biography of the politically astute first lady who shaped one of the nation's most consequential presidencies. A proud Texan, Karen earned a journalism degree at the University of Texas at Austin and an MBA from Harvard Business & Government Editor Lori Montgomery, Deputy Politics & Government Editor Nick Baumann Please join us in welcoming Karen back to the 7th floor. Her first day will be Aug. 1.
