Biography
A graduate of Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School, where he edited the school newspaper, The Tattler, and 1978 magna cum laude graduate of Duke University, Harwood has also served as a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University. He frequently appears on Washington Week, a public affairs program on PBS hosted by Gwen Ifill,[3] as well as NBC's Meet the Press, and MSNBC's Morning Joe. He attended Bethesda Chevy Chase High School in Maryland where he was the commencement speaker of the graduating class of 2010.[4]
Harwood's father, Richard Harwood, was a reporter and writer for The Louisville Times and The Washington Post. According to John Harwood's article in The Washington Post (April 30, 2000, page B4), Harwood's mother was an active campaigner for the presidential campaign of Robert F. Kennedy in 1968 and Harwood, at age 11, appeared in a TV ad for Robert F. Kennedy's 1968 campaign.
Harwood, along with co-author Gerald Seib, were Tim Russert's guests in Russert's last taped interview for Russert's MSNBC eponymous interview program, which was to air the weekend of June 14, 2008, just hours before Russert's death.[5]
Harwood was a moderator for CNBC's Republican Presidential Debate on October 28, 2015. Harwood was widely criticized by both the debate candidates and the media for his performance as moderator.[6][7][8][9][10][11] In particular, some claimed that Harwood lied about Marco Rubio's tax plan.[9][12] However, Nobel laureate economist and fellow New York Times columnist Paul Krugman in his opinion column linked to an article that defended Harwood on that point.[12]
