Career

Palmeri started her career at CNN as a News Assistant in the D.C. Bureau in 2009. She subsequently joined the Washington Examiner where she co-wrote a daily column called "Yeas & Nays."[3][4][5] In 2010, she moved to the New York Post to write for the paper's Page Six gossip column.[6] In 2012 she worked as a general assignment reporter and covered stories including the John Edwards trial, the Newtown, Connecticut school shooting, the 2012 Democratic National and Republican National conventions and the Jovan Belcher murder-suicide. In 2014, she began covering politics as a New York City Hall reporter.

Palmeri moved to Brussels in 2015 to cover European Politics for Politico.[7] Shortly after the 2016 Presidential election, she moved back to Washington, D.C. to report on the Trump administration.[8] During her tenure as White House reporter for Politico, Palmeri has broken exclusive stories, including one on White House staffers who failed FBI background checks, which led White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer to call Palmeri "an idiot with no real sources."[9] In May 2017, it was announced that Palmeri would be joining CNN as a political analyst for the network, while continuing to cover Trump for Politico.[10] In October 2017, it was announced that Palmeri was leaving Politico and CNN to join ABC News.[11]
