Mark Evan Halperin (born January 11, 1965)[1] is an American journalist, political commentator, author, and founder of the interactive media platform 2WAY. He previously was political director for ABC News, where he also edited the Washington, D.C., newsletter The Note. In 2010, Halperin joined MSNBC as a senior political analyst and contributor. Alongside John Heilemann, he co-managed Bloomberg Politics,[2] co-hosted With All Due Respect, and co-authored the bestselling books Game Change and Double Down: Game Change 2012. Halperin also co-produced and appeared with Heilemann and Mark McKinnon in Showtime's The Circus: Inside the Greatest Political Show on Earth, covering the 2016 United States Presidential Election.
In 2017, Halperin was accused by multiple women of sexual harassment and workplace misconduct during his time at ABC News, leading to his dismissal from NBC News, Showtime, and other media partnerships.[3] He later returned to broadcasting through independent platforms, launching the digital news network 2WAY, and in 2025 began hosting a program on Megyn Kelly’s MK Media network.[4]
