Anna Palmer has covered congressional leadership, the lobbying industry, presidential campaigns and the politics of governing for more than 15 years. In 2019, Palmer and Jake Sherman authored “The Hill to Die On: The Battle for Congress and the future of Trump’s America,” which was the inside story of Congress in the first two years of Donald Trump’s presidency. 

From 2016 to 2020, she was the co-author, along with Jake Sherman, of the top-rated POLITICO Playbook franchise, where they chronicled President Donald Trump’s first term, and his relationship with top Congressional leaders. Under their leadership, the platform more than doubled in revenue and tripled its readership. She has spoken and moderated conversations at the World Economic Forum, the Milken Institute Global Forum, UN General Assembly, Aspen Ideas Festival, Texas Tribune Festival and SXSW.  She’s a frequent political commentator on CNN, Fox News, NBC and MSNBC.
