About Tara Palmeri
Tara Palmeri is the host of the Ringer’s Somebody’s Gotta Win election podcast and author of "The Red Letter." Prior to her current roles, she served as Senior Political Correspondent at Puck and as Chief National Correspondent for POLITICO as well as writing the marquee newsletter Playbook.
Tara has no shortage of stories from covering the Trump administration as a White House Correspondent for ABC News and as a Political Analyst for CNN. She’s reported from far reaching places like Kim Jong Un’s guest house in North Korea to the Presidential Palace in Afghanistan. Prior to that, Tara moved to Brussels in 2014 to launch POLITICO Europe, where she covered major geopolitical issues like Brexit and the Greek financial crisis while also working as a CNBC contributor. As a young reporter for the New York Post, she wrote for the Page Six column where she fielded phone calls from Donald Trump, who was eager to talk about his political ambitions to his hometown paper. She went on to cover New York City Hall.
Tara started her career as a news assistant for CNN and then went on to author the Washington Examiner's Yeas & Nays column. She graduated summa cum laude from American University in December 2008.
