Molly Redden is a reporter for ProPublica covering national politics and elections.

She was previously a senior reporter on the national team at HuffPost, where she scrutinized Vice President Kamala Harris’ record as a “progressive prosecutor” and helped reveal how Sen. Amy Klobuchar had abused her staff throughout her political career. Redden’s recent reporting uncovered a series of all-expenses-paid luxury trips funded by right-wing billionaires for judges appointed by former President Donald Trump.

In 2024, Redden was a finalist for a Deadline Club award from the New York City chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists for her investigation into the political ties of the expert witnesses working to validate anti-trans laws across the country.

Before joining HuffPost, Redden was a senior reporter at Mother Jones and the Guardian US covering gender issues and reproductive rights.
