​

​Chris Cillizza stands as one of Washington’s most exciting analysts of campaign politics. With piercing
humor and probing insight, the self-described political junkie speaks to a variety of audiences on the nuances of national and local campaign politics. His extensive media appearances, spanning from TV to print to the blogosphere to his hundreds of thousands of social media followers, led The Washingtonian to name him one of the top 50 journalists working in Washington today. He pens the

So What newsletter (which has more than 13,000 subscribers on Substack), in which he shares his wit and wisdom on politics, sports, and "a whole lot else," and also uses his YouTube channel (more than 15,000 subscribers) to take audiences beyond the "what" of the news cycle and into the "so what" and "now what."

​

Previously, Cillizza served as politics reporter and editor at large for CNN, where he held various online and on-air roles, including as the creator of The Point with Chris Cillizza, a nightly newsletter. Known for tapping into his immense reservoir of political knowledge to examine the past and provide insights on the constantly evolving state of Washington politics, Cillizza's commentary explores the current presidency and the state of Capitol Hill with prodigious depth and a discerning eye for future political trends.
