Grayer will continue to cover Capitol Hill for the network, where she has covered the Republican response to Elon Musk’s DOGE, infighting in the Democratic party, Republican leadership drama, congressional investigations into former President Joe Biden, the January 6 Capitol attack and more.

Prior to becoming a reporter, Grayer was a video producer and covered the 2020 presidential election, including Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign.
