Hello! I’m Anjali Huynh, a political reporter for The New York Times and a member of the 2023-24 Fellowship class. I am particularly interested in how politicians try to connect with voters, and how various constituencies, especially underrepresented groups, engage with the political system. A December 2022 graduate of Emory University, I hold a B.A. in Political Science and Sociology.

My reporting career started in Iowa City, Iowa with my high school paper, West Side Story. As politicians flocked to my home state before the 2020 Iowa Caucuses, I followed them around Eastern Iowa and asked several, including President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, questions alongside national reporters.

At The New York Times, I have written more than 100 stories about the 2024 election cycle. I followed nearly every presidential candidate on the campaign trail and wrote enterprise stories in all of the early primary states, filing anywhere from aboard Air Force One to the side of an Iowa highway, mid-blizzard.

Previously, I helped cover the 2022 midterms for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. I’ve also worked for The Boston Globe, NBC News’s Politics desk, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s local news team, CNN’s National Content Center, CNN Newsource DC, and Little Village Magazine. I participated in the 2022 POLITICO Journalism Institute and served as the executive editor for The Emory Wheel.
