Olivia Nuzzi (born January 6, 1993) is an American political journalist who serves as the Washington correspondent for New York magazine, covering the presidential administration of Donald Trump.
Nuzzi was born in New York City. Her parents are Kelly Nuzzi and the late John Nuzzi, who was born in Brooklyn, New York, worked for the New York City Department of Sanitation for 20 years, and died in December 2015. After his death, Nuzzi wrote about him for The Daily Beast. She has a brother, Jonathan.
She grew up in the River Plaza community in Middletown, New Jersey, where her mother still lives. Nuzzi resides in Washington, D.C. Journalist Garance Franke-Ruta, writing for The Atlantic, described her in 2013 as a "lissome blonde".
Nuzzi attended and graduated from Middletown High School South. She began her writing career as a teenager in 2011, as a monthly political columnist for the triCityNews, an alt weekly based in Asbury Park, New Jersey. She also wrote for More Monmouth Musings, a politically conservative blog and news website.
While she was a 20-year-old junior attending Fordham University in 2013, Nuzzi volunteered and worked for four weeks as an intern for the Anthony Weiner New York City mayoral campaign. During her brief stint, she was hired as a full-time staff writer by NSFWcorp and described her experiences as an intern on the Weiner campaign in a blog post on July 28, 2013. In it, she asserted that Weiner mistakenly referred to her and another female intern as "Monica," and that an unnamed source told her that Weiner had lied to his campaign manager, who had quit as a result, and that the manager was one of a "series of staffers who have fled the campaign".
The New York Daily News commissioned her to write a follow-up article about the campaign, which two days later became its July 30, 2013, front page story. According to Nuzzi, some of her fellow interns were working in the campaign because they were hoping to meet Weiner's wife Huma Abedin, and through Abedin her boss Hillary Clinton, to be involved in Clinton's anticipated run for the presidency.
