Bill Press's biography

At a glance

  • Senior Political Contributor at CNN
  • Host of The Bill Press Pod
  • Former Chairman of the California Democratic Party
Bill Press, a prominent Democratic political insider, fearlessly challenges the leadership and proposed solutions of both political parties when it comes to the nation's most pressing issues. With his own podcast, The Bill Press Pod, and a senior political contributor role at CNN, Press is deeply involved in the political landscape. He attends daily White House press briefings, live-tweeting and writing a syndicated newspaper column weekly. Known for his liberal perspective, sense of humor, and grace, Press fearlessly engages in heated debates on national issues. He tailors his talks to each audience, providing valuable insights on Congress, the Trump Administration, and current news. Press is also an accomplished author, with books such as "The Obama Hate Machine" and "Buyer's Remorse," critically examining the performance of the Obama Administration. Having served as the former chairman of the California Democratic Party, Press has received numerous awards, including four Emmy Awards. He is available as an emcee, moderator, or debate participant for events. Press's speeches cover a range of topics, including political spin, the intersection of faith and politics, and the necessary changes to fix the broken system in Washington. Organizations consistently praise his expertise, humor, and ability to engage audiences. In addition to his books on the healthcare system, the toxic influence of the radical right, and the need to end the conservative revolution, Press has compiled a comprehensive list of reasons to remove Trump from office. With his vast experience and deep understanding of the political landscape, Press is a trusted voice in the realm of American politics.

Topics, sessions and talks

Faith And Politics
A former seminarian with a degree in theology, as well as a radio/TV talk show host, Bill Press talks about one of the most important issues facing the nation: the intersection between faith and politics. Press argues that Republicans have “overdone” it, by making an unholy alliance with the religious right; but that Democrats have “underdone” it, by ignoring religion and appearing too secular. Referencing his acclaimed book, How the Republicans Stole Christmas, Press gives his formula for the correct mix of faith and politics.
Analyzing Challenges In American Politics:
Bill Press, a seasoned political insider and commentator, provides a critical examination of the challenges confronting the political system in America. With his vast experience, which includes his tenure at CNN and insights from The Bill Press Pod, he offers a distinctive viewpoint on the current political dynamics and potential solutions.
How To Make Washington Work Again
Everybody knows Washington is broken today: a do-nothing Congress; a powerless president; a divided Supreme Court. Can anybody save Washington, or is it too late? And What changes are necessary to make Washington work again? Commentator And talk show host Bill Press examines this provocative question – and finds the answer!
Spin This!
Based on his first book, Bill Press pokes fun at the wonderful world of spin. With insight and wit, he exposes the worst examples of political spin heard today from both Republicans and Democrats. But he also shows how spin colors every aspect of human behavior today, as practiced by preachers, salesmen, parents, lawyers, boyfriends and girlfriends.
