Natalie Brand is a Washington correspondent covering the White House and Capitol Hill for CBS News 24/7 and CBS Stations.
Since joining CBS News in 2019, she has covered the Trump and Biden administrations, the 2020 and 2024 presidential elections, and numerous major breaking news events. During the January 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection, Brand delivered 24 hours of continuous live coverage to CBS affiliates nationwide.
During the first Trump administration, Brand covered the president's two impeachment proceedings and trials, changes to immigration policy, and developments at the U.S. southern border. She also provided extensive coverage of the federal response to the COVID-19 pandemic under the Biden and Trump administrations and the social justice movement sparked by the killing of George Floyd.
Her campaign reporting has taken her across the country-from the farms of Iowa to coal country in Pennsylvania-for a series of in-depth enterprise stories. She has also investigated key voter dynamics and issues, including changing voter demographics, gun safety, and election disinformation.
Prior to joining CBS News, she was the political reporter for KING-TV in Seattle, Washington, from 2015 through 2018, where she shaped campaign and election coverage, broke significant political stories, and moderated high-profile debates.
She also helped launch, co-host, and produce "Washington to Washington" for a Washington state public affairs channel, a series that examined how decisions made in Washington, D.C. impact people in the Pacific Northwest.
Brand previously reported for KTVK-TV in Phoenix, Arizona, KPTV-TV in Portland, Oregon, and KPSP-TV, the CBS affiliate in Palm Springs, California. She began her career in broadcast news as a writer and associate producer at KFMB-TV, the CBS affiliate in San Diego, California.
Her work has been recognized with a regional Emmy Award for Best Political Reporting for her coverage of the 2016 presidential campaign, a regional Edward R. Murrow Award, and two Associated Press Awards for breaking news.
Brand earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications from the University of California, San Diego, and a Master of Public Administration from Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government.
She is a mom to a toddler and married to a captain in the United States Coast Guard.
