Tony Romm

I am a reporter covering economic policy and the Trump administration for The New York Times, based in Washington.

What I Cover

I write about the economic proposals President Trump is considering and implementing, and I trace the impact of that agenda on Americans’ daily lives. I am particularly interested in the annual ebb and flow of the budget, the reach of government regulation and the future of the federal safety net, including Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

My Background

I have reported in Washington for more than a dozen years. I began my career covering the political rise of major technology companies, including Apple, Amazon, Facebook and Google, before becoming an economic policy reporter in 2020.

Before coming to The Times in 2025, I worked at The Washington Post. I chronicled President Biden’s economic agenda on Capitol Hill, where Democrats ultimately enacted trillions of dollars in new climate, health, infrastructure and social initiatives. I also piloted a yearlong investigation that identified billions of dollars in waste, fraud and abuse throughout the nation’s historic financial response to the Covid pandemic.

I graduated from American University with a bachelor’s degree in journalism. I am a Philadelphia-area native with a deep, unapologetic passion for Eagles football.

Journalistic Ethics

As a Times journalist, I share the values and adhere to the standards of integrity outlined in our Ethical Journalism Handbook .

I want all of my work to be accurate and fair. I protect my sources. I do not accept gifts, money or favors from anyone who might figure into my reporting.

I do not participate in political causes, donate to political campaigns or engage in public or private advocacy on any political issue. I make every effort to understand issues from multiple angles, and I seek in all my work to reflect a diverse range of viewpoints and perspectives. When I am working, I identify myself as a reporter for The Times.
