Oren Oppenheim

I'm an Emmy-award winning Politics Journalist for ABC News. I'm currently covering the lead up to the 2026 elections, national debates around redistricting, and key 2025 elections such as New York City's mayoral race and the Wisconsin Supreme Court election. 

Earlier this year, I worked with ABC’s Good Morning America on covering the new White House during the first few months of the second Trump administration.

During the 2024 election cycle, I covered elections, campaigns, and polling, both for the race for the White House and congressional campaigns.  I won an Emmy award for reporting for ABC World News Tonight in 2024.

At ABC News, I've also reported on regional news, the Jewish community nationwide, and other topics from courts to cartoons. My pitched stories have appeared on ABCNews.com, ABC's World News Now, and ABC News Live; while my field producing work has been on ABC's flagship shows Good Morning America and World News Tonight.

During the summer of 2021, I interned for ABC News' political unit, working on stories and reporting about elections, campaigns, and polls.

In 2020, I interned for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and concluded my tenure as a news editor for the the Chicago Maroon, capping three years on the paper.

During internships and freelance work for the Journal Sentinel, the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Jerusalem Post, and the Jewish Link, I've covered a mix of hyperlocal and international news, including some significant stories and breaking news.

My journalism has been featured in POLITICO Illinois Playbook, Jewish Insider's Daily Kickoff, and across the USA TODAY Network-Wisconsin.

Outside of journalism and writing, I enjoy discovering new places by public transit, taking photos, and trying out different coffeeshops.
