Saturday Luncheon with Jake Sherman

Saturday, February 17, 11:30 – 1:00 p.m.

Jake Sherman is an acclaimed reporter and news media innovator. For over a decade, he has been the entrusted source for news on Congress, congressional leadership, and the politics of legislating. He is a political contributor to MSNBC and NBC News and appears on television from the Capitol almost daily.

Sherman is a co-founder of Punchbowl News, a news community focused on the people, power, and politics in Washington. He has incomparable access to the highest offices in Washington, which gives him a unique perspective on policies, players, and personalities driving politics today.

From 2016 to 2020, Sherman was the co-author, alongside Anna Palmer, of the top-rated POLITICO Playbook franchise, in which they chronicled President Donald Trump’s first term. Under their leadership, Playbook became a daily must-read and the platform more than doubled in revenue and tripled its readership. It became a highly rated daily podcast, afternoon newsletter, and event series featuring interviews with the top political and business leaders across the country.
In 2019, Sherman co-authored The Hill to Die On: The Battle for Congress and the Future of Trump’s America. The book provided the inside story of Congress in the first two years of Donald Trump’s presidency. It was an instant New York Times and national bestseller.
