David Paul Kuhn

Kuhn regularly analyzes American politics for networks including BBC and Fox News Channel.[2][3][4][5][6] Kuhn has served as the chief political writer for CBS, a senior political writer for Politico, and as chief political correspondent for RealClearPolitics. His work has appeared in news outlets including The Washington Post, The New York Times, Salon, National Review, Washington Monthly, The Atlantic and The Wall Street Journal.

Kuhn frequently writes about the white working class in the context of American politics, the male side of the gender gap, and why Democrats struggle to win white voters, particularly blue collar whites.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13]

Early in his career, Kuhn reported on the United States for the Tokyo-based Yomiuri Shimbun. During this period, Kuhn covered issues including anthrax, North Korean nuclear negotiations, and the September 11th attacks. He wrote about his experience at the Twin Towers, on September 11, 2001, in the book At Ground Zero.[14]

Kuhn's first book, The Neglected Voter: White Men and the Democratic Dilemma, was published in 2007 and received wide praise.[15][16][17][18]

Kuhn's second book, What Makes It Worthy, was published in 2015. According to the New York Post, the book is based on Kuhn's experience covering presidential campaigns and presents a "fictionalized account of two reporters on the campaign trail", but "comparisons of characters to real-life political figures will naturally be made" because of the use of composite characters.[19] Kirkus Reviews wrote the novel has a "genuinely tender love story" and "insightful political commentary."[20]
