Kayla Tausche Biography

Kayla Tausche reports on the Biden administration, Cabinet agencies, and elections for CNBC as an anchor and senior White House reporter. She is also a fill-in anchor for CNBC's Business Day programming, and she recently served as a co-host for CNBC's 2020 election night coverage and Inauguration Day dayside programming. She worked as a contributor for the network on election night in 2016 in Colorado and in 2012 in Pennsylvania, a key swing state. Her journalism gives crucial, behind-the-scenes intelligence on policy changes, based on a vast network of political contacts. She protected exclusive interviews with Vice President Mike Pence, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell during the Trump administration, in addition to interviewing foreign leaders and executive officers from the biggest names in the industry on a regular basis. Following the US Capitol insurgency on January 6, 2021, Tausche revealed the news that top authorities were having exploratory discussions about removing President Trump from office. She's taken viewers behind the scenes of trade talks with Europe, Canada, Mexico, and China, as well as providing live coverage from the G-20 in Osaka, Japan, and the G-7 in Quebec City. She also reported from London that global central banks were not assisting amid a market rout in the aftermath of the 2016 Brexit vote. Emmy, Gracie, Polk, Livingston, and Loeb awards were nominated for her long-form investigations of the White House's faulty airport virus screening program and inability to deliver on an $84 billion economic commitment to the state of West Virginia. Tausche also co-hosted Squawk Alley, a show from the New York Stock Exchange that focused on the confluence between Wall Street and Silicon Valley, from 2014 to 2017. She covered the first public offerings of Facebook, Twitter, Alibaba, and Snapchat in that capacity. She studied the banking industry and its growth after the 2008 financial crisis when she joined CNBC in 2011. Tausche got her to start in Brussels with the Associated Press and then in London and New York with the Financial Times Group.
