TV newswoman Kasie Hunt

Kasie Hunt is one of the top political reporters at MSNBC and NBC News.


At 33 years of age at this writing, she's already accomplished a lot, and she's just getting started.

Though Ms. Hunt began her journalism career as an intern for NBC News' political unit, she didn't get on the air through the usual channels - no pun intended - of employment in local TV stations.  She actually went to print reporting after her NBC internship, working as a health policy reporter for the National Journal's CongressDaily segment and also covering politics for Politico and the Associated Press.

Ms. Hunt returned to NBC News as an off-air reporter in January 2013 and became an on-air political correspondent in November 2014.


Since October 2017, she's hosted her own two-hour Sunday night MSNBC political news program, the punningly titled "Kasie DC."  The gig is a double-edged sword, given that its first hour competes directly with CBS's "60 Minutes."
