Nick Visser is a senior reporter on HuffPost’s breaking news team, covering the environment, U.S. politics and world news. Originally based in New York, he now lives in Sydney.

Fineman spent three decades at Newsweek, traveling the nation as the magazine’s chief political correspondent. He interviewed presidents and presidential wannabes, and provided a critical look behind the curtain of Capitol Hill as a regular analyst on cable television, dissecting the daily machinations of politics with a sharp wit and the mind of a journalism historian that spanned decades.

Fineman was born in 1948 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he was raised in the “very large and very wonderful” Jewish community of Squirrel Hill, he recalled in an interview. He recounted traveling to Ukraine — then part of the Soviet Union — in 1970, shortly after graduation, with plans to drive a Volkswagon bus to explore his Jewish roots.“I understood why my grandparents … had gotten out, had left that part of the world,” he recounted on thein 2023.

Arianna Huffington wooed Fineman away from his role at Newsweek in 2010 to become HuffPost’s political editor.
