He was a regular guest on Fox "News" for over 17 years, logging thousands of appearances on the "Fair and Balanced" television network. Last year he received a great deal of notoriety for having been one of the only commentators who called the 2022 elections correctly, as he rightly forecast that a red wasn’t coming and that it would a much better for Democrats than conventional wisdom held.

Rosenberg has served in senior roles at the DNC, DCCC and worked on two Presidential campaigns, including a leadership role in the Clinton War Room in 1992. He was instrumental in founding the House New Democrat Coalition, the donor advisory network, the Democracy Alliance, and was a leading candidate for DNC Chair in 2005.

Rosenberg and his wife, Caitlin Durkovich, live in Washington, DC, where they have raised three kids and a spirited bulldog, Tug. Rosenberg is a retired Little League baseball coach, a Crown Fellow at the Aspen Institute, and was for many years on the Board of the Tisch School for Civic Life at Tufts University.
