Alex Thompson Biography

Alex Thompson is a national political correspondent at Axios, where he covers the White House, presidential campaigns, and the inner workings of Washington power dynamics. Known for his sharp reporting and deep sourcing, Thompson has earned a reputation for breaking significant political news and delivering in-depth profiles of influential figures in U.S. politics.

Before joining Axios, Thompson worked at Politico, where he was a key reporter for Politico's Playbook newsletter and played a central role in covering the Biden administration and campaign. During the 2020 election cycle, he gained recognition for his coverage of Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, offering detailed insights into campaign strategy, staff operations, and policy development. His book, "Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Coverup, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again" is due in May 2025.

Thompson began his journalism career at Vice News, where he produced longform political reporting and on-the-ground stories; he later worked for Fusion and Vox. He is a graduate of Yale University and is known for combining rigorous investigative journalism with a fast-paced, conversational writing style that aligns with the Axios ethos of smart brevity.

Across platforms, Thompson continues to shape national political coverage, frequently appearing on cable news and podcasts to analyze breaking developments and provide context on electoral and governance issues. His work reflects a deep commitment to transparency, accountability, and storytelling at the highest level of American journalism.
