Two of the most significant players in political journalism return once again to 92NY to bring their unique perspectives to the political terrain. Maggie Haberman’s New York Times coverage of Donald Trump has earned her a deserved reputation as the most important chronicler of the once (and future?) President. Her book, Confidence Man, leapt to the top of the New York Times bestseller list. She is also regularly seen as a political analyst on CNN.
Alex Burns, who was Maggie’s one-time writing partner, has left the New York Times to return to POLITICO, where he serve as Associate Editor for Global Politics and a columnist; he covers a broad range of political matters. His book, This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for American Democracy (co-written with Jonathan Martin) was a Times bestseller as well.
This is the sixth time Burns and Haberman has appeared as part of Jeff Greenfield’s long-running conversations—a record as impressive as LeBron James’ NBA feat. It promises to be another informative and entertaining evening.
