But it is our Washington bureau, led by the incomparable Elisabeth Bumiller, that has in many ways reinvented what it means to cover a president. And so, it is with gratitude and admiration that we share the news that Elisabeth has decided to step down as Washington bureau chief. Elisabeth became bureau chief in 2015 as the 2016 presidential election was heating up. In her nearly 30 years at The Times, Elisabeth has held a range of positions, including City Hall bureau chief on Metro, White House correspondent, Pentagon reporter and Politics reporter covering John McCain's 2008 campaign. We'll have more to say soon about the next Washington bureau chief.
