Background

About Tom Lobianco

I'm a veteran national politics reporter and editor of 24sight News, the independent news site on Substack. 24sight's scoops have been featured in The New York Times, CNN, ABC News, the Reddit front page, the Columbia Journalism Review and many other outlets. I also write part-time for the Harvard Kennedy School's Center for Public Leadership, writing features for the CPL newsletter and more. I wrote the definitive biography of former vice president Mike Pence,"Piety & Power: Mike Pence and the Taking of the White House" in 2019. http://bit.ly/PietyAndPower. The New York Times' Peter Baker wrote in his review,"Tom LoBianco asks all the right questions in “Piety & Power,” his crisp and engaging biography of the vice president, but the answers remain elusive." My comprehensive examination of Pence published a little more than a year before he helped stop the January 6th insurrection. Since then, I've stayed on top of the Pence beat, covering his short-lived run for the White House for the almost-as-short-lived The Messenger. I'm a regular guest on-air, most recently offering regular analysis on SiriusXM, LiveNow from Fox and CBS News'"America Decides". I have also appeared regularly on CNN, MSNBC, the BBC and many other outlets, talking about the shape of the national political landscape, the latest from inside Trumpworld, and, of course, Pence. Over two decades working in politics and journalism, I've moved from covering county zoning meetings and statehouses to covering Congress, the White House and the presidential races. I covered the House January 6th investigation, the 2020 race and Trump's frantic response to Covid for Business Insider. The White House and the Trump-Russia investigations for The Associated Press, Congress, the 2016 campaign and more. I spent four years covering the Indiana Statehouse, four covering Maryland's statehouse. My investigations have led to resignations of top officials, congressional investigations and more. My scoops have also dotted late night television, from a Stephen Colbert sketch about the Pences "couchsurfing" to SNL lampooning Md's pumpkin signs for sex offenders.
