Trip Gabriel

Trip Gabriel is an American political journalist who works for The New York Times.[1] He has covered each presidential campaign since 2012, as well as numerous U.S. Senate, congressional and gubernatorial races.[citation needed] Much of his reporting has focused on voters, demographics and the battleground states; especially as Donald Trump disrupted traditional party coalitions.[2] In 2015, Gabriel was based in Iowa during the run-up to the presidential caucuses,[3] as Trump began consolidating his hold on Republicans.[citation needed]

In 2019, his article about Representative Steve King of Iowa as a precursor to Trump's politics of anti-immigrant nationalism created an uproar, after King told the reporter: “White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?”[4] King, a Republican, was stripped of his committee assignments in the House of Representatives by republican leaders.[5]

Other coverage by Gabriel that had a high impact included reporting about Republicans using critical race theory as a culture-war issue in 2021; the political formation of Pete Buttigieg when he sought the 2020 Democratic nomination; the crushing down-ballot losses by Democrats in 2020, and the foreign policy stumbles of Ben Carson in 2015, in which an advisor to Carson, Duane R. Clarridge, told The Times, “Nobody has been able to sit down with him and have him get one iota of intelligent information about the Middle East."[6][7][8][9]
