Asma Khalid        

White House Correspondent for NPR & Co-Host of "The NPR Politics Podcast"

Asma Khalid is an award-winning journalist who serves as the White House correspondent for National Public Radio – where she also co-hosts “The NPR Politics Podcast” and fills in as anchor on NPR flagship shows like Morning Edition.

She’s also a contributor with ABC News on television.

Khalid is a bit of a campaign-trail addict, having reported on the 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2024 elections.

Before joining NPR's political team, Khalid was a reporter for Boston's NPR station WBUR, where she was nearly immediately flung into one of the most challenging stories of her career — the Boston Marathon bombings. She had joined the network just a few weeks prior, but went on to report on the bombings, the victims, and the reverberations throughout the city. Later, she led a new business and technology team at the station.

In addition to countless counties across America, Khalid's reporting has taken her to Pakistan, the United Kingdom and China.

She got her start in journalism in her home state of Indiana, but she fell in love with radio through an internship at the "BBC Newshour" in London during graduate school.

She's been a guest on numerous TV programs including ABC's "This Week," CNN's "Inside Politics" and PBS's "Washington Week."
