Major Garrett Biography

For 30 years, Major Garrett has relentlessly pursued and covered breaking news stories while reporting from the front lines of the nation's most urgent problems. As police and general assignment reporter, he started his long journalism career. Since then, he has covered Congress for two important publications and worked as a White House correspondent for three television networks. He serves as CBS News Chief White House Correspondent and was the organization's top political correspondent throughout the 2016 Republican presidential primary. Beginning in the summer of 2015, he made several trips across the nation to cover every GOP debate and important campaign event for CBS. Additionally, Major is the anchor of the "The Takeout" CBS News podcast and a Correspondent at Large for National Journal. Former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs described him as "one of the sharpest guys in the briefing room," while CBS News President David Rhodes described him as "a hardworking reporter and terrific asset" to the Washington bureaus. Major is available to speak and moderate panels on the current condition of politics, the inner workings of Congress, and the function of the media. Major is a really non-partisan reporter. His engaging speeches draw on personal recollections from his time on the Hill, solid ties with influential politicians, and stories from the presidential campaigns he has traveled the nation documenting. He dissects difficult, contentious policy topics and is often regarded as impartial due to his experience working for both the CNN and Fox News White House teams. There are five novels by Major. One of the finest non-fiction political books of all time, Enduring Revolution: How the Contract with America Continues to Shape the Nation, is his third book. Major often speaks on his campaign reporting, the White House, and Congress on CBS, ABC, MSNBC, CNN, and NPR.
