Alex Thompson

Alex Thompson, a White House reporter at Politico, will leave to join Axios as a national political correspondent.

As per The New York Times’ Katie Robertson:

“News outlets are jostling for talent ahead of 2024 — I’m told Thompson turned down offers at WaPo, Politico and Semafor.”

Thompson joined Politico in September 2018 as a national political reporter. Previously, he was a policy and politics editor at Vice and served as an editorial assistant to New York Times and Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Maureen Dowd.

Thompson graduated from Harvard College.

Be sure to congratulate Thompson via Twitter.
