O’Keefe first joined CBS News as a political contributor in 2017 and has been reporting on politics since he joined The Washington Post in 2005, after graduating from the American University.
“After nearly 13 incredible years at The Washington Post, I’m honored to be joining CBS News on a permanent basis,” said O’Keefe in a press release announcing his hire. “I’ve been a viewer and fan of the network, its people and its storied history since childhood, when watching the news was a regular habit. It’s been a privilege and joy contributing to the network over the past year, and I’m eager to work full-time with the correspondents, crews, and producers to cover the year’s elections and prepare for the 2020 campaign cycle.”
