David Paul Kuhn

David Paul Kuhn is an author, reporter, and political analyst. He has served as a senior and chief political writer across the political-media landscape, from Politico to RealClearPolitics to CBS News, as well as written for the Atlantic, Washington Post Magazine, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, National Review, New Republic, and the Los Angeles Times, among other publications, and regularly appears on networks ranging from BBC to Fox News. He has covered four presidential campaigns and reported on events from the epicenter of the collapse of the World Trade Center to North Korean backroom nuclear negotiations. Earlier in his career, he covered the eastern United States for the Tokyo-based Yomiuri Shimbun, the world's most widely circulated newspaper. Kuhn is the author of, most recently, The Hardhat Riot: Nixon, New York City, and the Dawn of the White Working-Class Revolution—a "riveting book" (Jill Lepore, The New Yorker), "perhaps the best book ever on how Democrats lost the white working class" (political strategist James Carville), a "truly captivating read" (Robert Guest, The Economist), that is "crucial for anyone seeking to understand the politics of 2020" (Tom Edsall, the New York Times).
