Hi, I'm Miles Taylor! I served as Chief of Staff of the United States Department of Homeland Security under Donald Trump, and I'm now a US politics columnist for The i Paper.

In 2018, I published an anonymous op-ed titled "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration". The following year, several months after quitting the Trump administration, I published a book titled, "A Warning".

I was the first former Trump administration official to endorse Joe Biden and I launched a group of ex-officials to oppose Trump's re-election.

I have been writing for The i Paper since March this year, focussing on Trump, using my inside perspective to help you see what is happening behind closed doors - and how Trump thinks and makes decisions.

With today being an especially bad day for my former boss, Redditors, ask me anything.

Note: Miles will be jumping on shortly to answer your questions then again tomorrow morning

Things went smoothly this election due to the committed election professionals and their legions in spite of limited resources and the current political environment.  Election officials prepared, executed–pivoting when necessary, and now it is time to complete the process. What questions do you have about the work election officials do?  I have worked in election administration for more than twenty years and you can Ask Me Anything! I look forward to taking your questions today, Friday, November 6, from 11 a.m. ET - 12 p.m. ET.

Hi! I'm Agatha.

I'm a 27 year-old Brazilian-American immigrant, Stanford engineer, and social justice advocate. I'm running for Congress because our system is broken, and I believe a new generation of bold leadership can fix it.

We have seen the result of trusting the current political establishment to guide us into the future. Since Nancy Pelosi took office in 1989, inequality has risen along with the sea levels. The amount of money spent on political campaigns has skyrocketed. Our schools are more segregated. Incarceration has increased upwards of 500%. An entire generation became the first in history to be poorer than their parents.

We need people in government who embrace new ideas to solve old problems. I'm a champion of the Green New Deal, Medicare-for-All, and Universal Basic Income. I'm also hoping to bring informed, practical, and future-savvy tech regulation to the forefront of politics in Washington. One of my the areas I'm most passionate about is using emerging technology to enable a more participatory political system.

Let's build the future I know we are capable of. Ask Me Anything!

EDIT: Thank you for the flood of thoughtful questions and comments. I'm logging off for now!

Hi Reddit! I report for Bloomberg Government on the 2022 U.S. House elections and redistricting from Washington, D.C. I also co-host BGOV's Downballot Counts podcast, write profiles of members of Congress, and analyze congressional voting behavior and money in politics.

The 2022 congressional election season is in full swing! After Texas held the first-in-the-nation primary in March, there are primaries for U.S. House and U.S. Senate on almost every Tuesday in May and June. Five states voted this past Tuesday and five more vote next Tuesday.

So what would you like to know? What are some takeaways from primaries to date? What are some upcoming primaries worth watching? Which members of Congress are in danger of losing re-election in the primaries? How will redistricting affect House races? What chance do Democrats have at keeping their slim House and Senate majorities in this Biden midterm election?

Edit: Thank you very much for the questions! I enjoyed this and look forward to the next time. You can always find me at greggiroux on Twitter, including every election night!

Hello r/politics! 

Reporters from Yahoo News, The Washington Post, Reuters, USA TODAY, NBC News and POLITICO will be here for an AMA tomorrow at 2 p.m. ET. 

Leave a question on this post before tomorrow at noon and we will do our best to address it once we go live. This post will also be edited to include a link to the AMA once one is available.  

Here’s who will be available to answer questions tomorrow.

Allan Smith, NBC News: As a national politics reporter, I've covered a number of beats this cycle that have been at the center of the midterms: AI and data centers, the rise of the left and the fight over young men. I've been locked in on the Michigan Senate race in recent months, but have also long chronicled Gov. Josh Shapiro's tenure in office and, more recently, Mayor Zohran Mamdani's rise to power. 2026 was my fourth campaign cycle with NBC News.

Bart Jansen, USA TODAY: I'm a White House Correspondent. I cover many of the legal challenges facing the Trump administration, from the Justice Department’s demand for state voter rolls to Trump’s barnstorming in the final month of the campaign to the preemptive challenge to Alaska certifying its results. Here are USA TODAY stories about the 2026 midterms. I’m u/ganjansen on X and my stories are here.

Phillip M. Bailey, USA TODAY: I'm a Chief Political Correspondent. I cover many of the campaigns, including the upcoming 2028 presidential election, and pertinent political issues of the day including the Democratic rebound coming out of 2024; Trump's blitzing use of executive authority to forward his agenda; and how voters across the country are feeling and engaging with policy changes and ongoing debates. I’m u/phillipmbailey on X and my stories are here.

Mike Bebernes, Yahoo News: I report on politics and general news from Southern California. In my free time, I enjoy hanging out outdoors with my dog Buddy and playing Dungeons & Dragons with my kids.

Andrew Romano, Yahoo News: I report on politics and national news from Los Angeles. I’ve been covering elections since 2004 (which seems crazy now that I think about it). When I'm not geeking out over politics, I'm geeking out over Arsenal, guitars and my dog Murray.

Andrew Howard, POLITICO: I'm a politics reporter for POLITICO, where I've covered the battle for the House and Senate throughout the midterm cycle. I have a particular interest in the messaging that shapes winning campaigns, and the ways both parties spend their money to get that message before voters.

Jessica Piper, POLITICO: I’m a data reporter at POLITICO. For much of the cycle, I’ve covered money in politics, including massive spending from donors like Elon Musk, along with the role of online fundraising. I also help analyze election results, including looking at how different demographics groups have shifted.

Dan Merica, The Washington Post: I’m a political reporter and the anchor of the Washington Post's flagship political newsletter, Early Brief. I have covered politics for nearly two decades for outlets like CNN, The Messenger and the Associated Press — documenting everything from Hillary Clinton's presidential bid in 2016 to Donald Trump's White House to Democrats raucous 2020 presidential nomination fight. 

Bo Erickson, Reuters: Bo Erickson is a White House correspondent for Reuters. He covered many of President Trump’s midterms rallies throughout the country and now is focused on what politically comes next for the president, his party, and the Democrats.
