Robert Costa Career

Costa was a Robert L. Bartley Fellow at The Wall Street Journal. In 2010, he was hired as a reporter by the conservative magazine National Review. In December 2012, he was promoted to the position of Washington editor for National Review. While at National Review, Costa was a contributor for CNBC, appearing on The Kudlow Report, and for MSNBC.

In 2013, during the United States federal government shutdown, Costa's reporting on the Republican Party in Congress was widely praised. The New Republic called him "the most important reporter in the country over the past few weeks" and Slate writer David Weigel called him "omnipresent." New York magazine called him "the golden boy of the government shutdown."

Costa has not identified his political views publicly, saying only that he's not on the "conservative team." He has cited Jim Lehrer, Gwen Ifill, Robert Caro and Tim Russert as influences.

In November 2013, he left National Review for The Washington Post, joining the paper officially in January 2014.

On December 10, 2015, Costa was named a political analyst for both NBC and MSNBC. Costa is known for his deep sourcing within national political circles. He has interviewed President Donald Trump on multiple occasions. Politico has called him the "Trump whisperer."

In March 2016, Costa interviewed Trump with Bob Woodward, who has been a mentor to him. Costa served as guest host of PBS' Charlie Rose in March 2017.

In April 2017, Costa became the moderator of the long-running Washington Week news magazine program on PBS, following the death of moderator Gwen Ifill. Costa frequently hosted top mainstream news reporters on the program. "I've always worked to be highly disciplined in my reporting. ... to be sensitive to constant objectivity," Costa told the Associated Press in 2017.

On January 1, 2021, Costa hosted his last episode of the Washington Week program on PBS. He left the television program to write a book with Bob Woodward. The book, entitled Peril, was released in September 2021. The book debuted at #1 on The New York Times bestseller list and spent nine weeks on the Times' bestseller list for nonfiction books. To promote the book, Woodward and Costa appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The View, Meet the Press, Good Morning America, and other programs. In October 2021, Costa was a solo guest on NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross. The book has been cited in subpoenas issued by the United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack.

In 2022, he left The Washington Post to join CBS News as the network's chief election and campaign correspondent. CBS said Costa would be a "pivotal correspondent" in its coverage of the 2022 midterm elections, the 2024 presidential election, and "the evolving state of American democracy." Costa told the Associated Press that The Washington Post is a "first class organization" and that he was open to potential collaborations between the newspaper and CBS News.

In an interview that aired on Face the Country on Sunday morning, McCarthy said, I'd still be in it if I was the right to give advice.'
