Overview
- Chloe Arensberg, NBC’s Washington bureau chief, announced Thursday that Garrett Haake was promoted to chief White House correspondent and will lead the network’s coverage.
- Haake replaces Peter Alexander, who left NBC after about 20 years to host a dayside show at MS NOW.
- Haake joined the White House team last year after serving as senior Capitol Hill correspondent, where his January 6 reporting helped earn NBC national Emmy and Murrow recognition.
- His experience includes covering all three Trump campaigns and major breaking news events such as the Uvalde school shooting and Hurricane Florence.
- Arensberg cited his sprint from the Correspondents’ Dinner to the briefing room to ask the President a question as proof of the aggressive access NBC expects him to pursue.
