Lisa Lerer was a lead reporter covering the 2016 presidential election and its aftermath and is now actively covering the 2020 race. She has been involved in researching how female-led activism is reshaping American politics, as well as Democratic resistance to the Trump administration. Her writing has appeared in Politico, Businessweek, Bloomberg News, The Atlantic, Fortune, and The Wall Street Journal to name a few.  She is based in D.C but also spends time in the New York newsroom.

One of my areas of interest in politics is the 2020 election, which I why I am choosing to follow Lisa Lerer. She is experienced at reporting on elections and the presidential race, since she covered the 2016 election. Additionally, the fact that she has research surrounding women and female led activism is of interest to me, especially since women were influential in the 2016 election. As a young woman myself, I am particularly excited to follow a female reporter.
