Early life and education
Enten was raised in a Jewish family[1][5][6][7] in the Riverdale neighborhood of The Bronx, New York City.[4] Harry was introduced to politics as a child when his father, a judge, took him into the polling booth to help pull the levers for elections. He attended Riverdale Country School. He is the nephew, by marriage, of singer-songwriter Neil Sedaka.[6]
Enten graduated Magna cum Laude, and Phi Beta Kappa from Dartmouth College in 2011. Enten chose to attend Dartmouth at least partially due to New Hampshire's status as the first-in-the-nation primary.[7][8]
Enten began publishing a blog called Margin of Error, and held an internship at NBC News Political Unit in Washington, D.C.[7][4] Prior to working for FiveThirtyEight, Enten was a journalist for The Guardian.[4][9]
FiveThirtyEight
Along with Carl Bialik and Walter Hickey, Enten was one of the first people Nate Silver hired when FiveThirtyEight relaunched under ESPN.[4][10] He mostly wrote politics articles for FiveThirtyEight, but he occasionally wrote weather pieces. He announced on February 5, 2018 that he was leaving FiveThirtyEight to join CNN's Politics team as a senior political writer and analyst.
Enten was also one of the co-hosts of the FiveThirtyEight politics podcast,[11] alongside host Jody Avirgan and fellow co-hosts Nate Silver and Clare Malone.
The Forecast Fest
Since April 2019 Kate Bolduan, John Avlon and Harry Enten produce a podcast called The Forecast Fest together. It is about the 2020 United States presidential election.[12]
