Alex Thompson is a national political correspondent at Axios, where he covers the White House, presidential campaigns, and the inner workings of Washington power dynamics. Known for his sharp reporting and deep sourcing, Thompson has earned a reputation for breaking significant political news and delivering in-depth profiles of influential figures in U.S. politics.

Before joining Axios, Thompson worked at Politico, where he was a key reporter for Politico's Playbook newsletter and played a central role in covering the Biden administration and campaign. During the 2020 election cycle, he gained recognition for his coverage of Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, offering detailed insights into campaign strategy, staff operations, and policy development. His book, "Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Coverup, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again" is due in May 2025.

Thompson began his journalism career at Vice News, where he produced longform political reporting and on-the-ground stories; he later worked for Fusion and Vox.
