NBC News’ correspondent Dasha Burns joins POLITICO as White House Bureau Chief
POLITICO adds Dasha Burns, who reported on the 2024 Trump campaign as one of NBC News’ correspondents, to be its White House Bureau Chief. According to POLITICO, Burns will be joining POLITICO “at a pivotal moment in U.S. and global politics and will ensure that we are driving the conversation surrounding the Trump presidency and delving deeper into the intersection of power, politics and policy, bringing clarity and insight to our audience.
“Dasha has rapidly established herself as one of the most compelling voices in political journalism, combining sharp insights, relentless curiosity, and a fearless approach to tackling the stories that shape our world. And after eight years at NBC that saw her rise from associate producer to one of the network’s top political correspondents, Dasha told us that she’s invigorated by POLITICO’s mission and eager to be part of our team — to work with the talented reporters and editors who make us the authority on politics and policy, and to help us innovate across platforms in POLITICO’s next chapter.”
Born in Ukraine and raised in California, she is a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, with degrees in Media Studies and Anthropology, she joined NBC News in 2016 as an associate producer for Weekend TODAY, rising through the ranks to eventually establish her presence as one of the network’s top political reporters.
