Biography
Robert Costa is one of the most trusted political journalists in America and a compelling keynote speaker for audiences seeking timely, insider analysis of Washington. As Chief Election & Campaign Correspondent for CBS News, Costa covers the biggest political stories across all CBS platforms, including Face the Nation, CBS Evening News, and CBS Mornings. His sharp reporting, exclusive interviews—including with President Joe Biden—and unmatched sourcing offer audiences rare insight into the strategies, personalities, and power shifts shaping U.S. policy and elections.
Before joining CBS in 2022, Costa spent seven years as a national political reporter at The Washington Post, where he covered Congress, the presidency, and the rise of populist politics. He also co-authored the #1 New York Times bestseller Peril with Bob Woodward—an authoritative chronicle of the transition from the Trump to Biden administrations.
Known for his measured, nonpartisan approach, Costa was the moderator of PBS’s Washington Week from 2017 to 2021, earning widespread respect for his ability to navigate complex topics with clarity and depth. He has also served as a political analyst for NBC News and MSNBC, appearing regularly on Meet the Press, Morning Joe, and PBS NewsHour.
Costa brings deep institutional knowledge to the stage, drawing from his early work at National Review and his acclaimed coverage of the 2013 federal government shutdown. A gifted communicator, he makes politics accessible and engaging for audiences ranging from corporate leaders and trade associations to university communities and civic organizations.
He holds degrees from the University of Notre Dame and the University of Cambridge, where he studied Winston Churchill. Costa currently serves as a scholar at the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics.
