Hanna Trudo: From Journalist to Congressional Candidate
Hanna Trudo, a journalist known for her coverage of Congress for The Hill, has announced her intention to explore a run for a House seat in New Hampshire. Unsurprisingly, she has opted to run as a Democrat—an outcome that is certainly not causing any jaws to drop.
This development serves as yet another illustration of the overwhelmingly partisan landscape of American media, which many argue is dominated by Democrat-aligned voices, perhaps to the tune of 99.9 percent.

Unmasking Intentions: Veteran Reporter Eyeing Congress as a Democrat
In an eyebrow-raising revelation from Monday’s Politico Playbook, it was disclosed that Hanna Trudo, former senior political correspondent for The Hill and a seasoned Capitol Hill reporter, is contemplating a congressional campaign in New Hampshire’s 1st District. Her career has also included stints at notable outlets like the Daily Beast and Politico.
In a moment that could be described as a “mask-off” scenario, Trudo expressed her frustration: “I’m a journalist who’s tired of writing the same story about how Democrats keep losing to Republicans and failing us.”
But who exactly is included in “us,” Hanna? It seems safe to assume you’re referring to the Democrats. It’s rather revealing to admit that the media’s role often seems to pivot toward ensuring the left’s success while undermining the right.
Trudo also shared her views on disrupting the status quo in Washington, claiming she “knows how to beat the odds” because she has both “lived it” and “covered it.”
A quick glance at Trudo’s Twitter/X profile confirms her alignment with progressive ideals, particularly those championed by Bernie Sanders.
Working people are FED UP.
“The people of this country do not want oligarchy. They do not want authoritarianism. They want a government that works for all of us, not just the 1%.” -Bernie Sanders https://t.co/F7JaXIsqai

In 2025, it is undeniable that Bernie Sanders is the current leader of the Democratic Party

Her sentiments regarding Donald Trump are equally telling:
As a 4th generation Granite Stater, I take our state motto in N.H., Live Free or Die, seriously.
Under Donald Trump, we are no longer free.
Dems need to stop chasing the magical land of bipartisanship. We need to fight NOW.#nhpoliticshttps://t.co/NBBA6Dc4GK via @nbcnews

This case illustrates a broader trend in the media landscape, where many journalists openly express their political biases, particularly against the backdrop of national politics. As Trudo embarks on this new chapter, one can only hope that voters in New Hampshire will critically evaluate her candidacy and its implications for their representation.
