About This Year's Speaker:
Robert Costa is an acclaimed national political reporter and analyst, and co-author of Peril with Bob Woodward, which documents the national-security emergency during President Trump’s final days in office and provides unmatched insights into the dynamics shaping the coming elections in 2022 and 2024. Peril is also the first inside look at President Biden’s first year in office.
For more than a decade, Costa has been at the forefront of American politics and journalism. His coverage has been unusually expansive, with deep sourcing inside the White House, on Capitol Hill, and inside the nation’s national-security community, as well as inside the new grassroots movements on the right and left that have upended both major parties in recent years.
