Bennett also provided extensive and defining coverage of the first Trump impeachment inquiry and the migrant family separation policy. He is part of the NBC team that in 2022 won the prestigious Edward R. Murrow Award for Overall Excellence.

In his prior experience, he worked for NPR, beginning as an editor for Weekend Edition and later as a reporter covering Congress and the White House.

Bennett has appeared as a political analyst on ABC News and CBS News and has also hosted C-SPAN’s Washington Journal public affairs program. He began his journalism career at ABC News’ World News Tonight after graduating from Morehouse College.
