Edward-Isaac Dovere is a senior reporter for CNN, covering politics and the Biden administration. His work is known for scoops, incisive reporting and distinctive delivery across nearly every medium—news and magazine articles, TV, radio, podcasts and his bestselling book, Battle for the Soul.

Dovere has covered politics for over 15 years—beginning in his native New York, then onto the Obama White House, across 29 states during the 2020 campaign and continuing through conducting Joe Biden’s first interview as president and the tumult of politics since.

In 2006, Dovere founded City Hall, focused on New York City politics, and then launched The Capitol, focused on state politics. He was twice recognized for best political coverage by the New York Press Association, and won the Society of Professional Journalists’ Daniel Pearl Award for investigative reporting for a series exposing the muddled finances of the Working Families Party.

Dovere has been covering national politics since 2011, first at Politico, where he was the senior White House reporter and later chief Washington correspondent, and then as a staff writer at The Atlantic before joining CNN in 2021. He won the White House Correspondents’ Association’s Merriman Smith Award for excellence for reporting on Obama’s historic first trip to Cuba. He was the host of Politico’s Off Message podcast and The Atlantic’s The Ticket podcast.

Dovere attended Johns Hopkins University and received a Master’s degree from the University of Chicago. He teaches as a senior fellow at Brown University’s Watson Institute. He lives in Washington, D.C., with his family.
