Jack Blanchard Biography

Jack Blanchard is the managing editor and author of Politico’s flagship Washington Playbook, a widely read political newsletter in the United States. With more than two decades of experience in political journalism, Blanchard has built a reputation in both British and American political reporting. He began his career in the United Kingdom, advancing through regional newspapers before serving as political editor at Daily Mirror and later joining Politico, where he launched and authored London Playbook, guiding readers through the Brexit era and changes in British leadership.

Blanchard is also the co-host of "The Playbook Podcast," providing behind-the-scenes insights into major political developments. His reporting has taken him to global summits such as the G7, G20, and NATO, and he has traveled with British prime ministers, offering readers perspectives on international diplomacy. In his role in Washington, Blanchard brings an international viewpoint to Playbook, working with a team of journalists to maintain the newsletter as a daily resource for political insiders navigating U.S. policy and power dynamics.

Blanchard’s career is characterized by a commitment to incisive analysis and authoritative political coverage. He is a frequent commentator and public speaker at events such as the Aspen Ideas Festival, recognized for his willingness to address challenging questions and deliver engaging political journalism.
