Is Tim Miller left or right?
Miller is one of the most prominent voices of the "Never Trump" faction — former Republicans who oppose Trump and now largely align with the Democratic coalition against him. He spent his early career inside GOP politics, including as communications director for Jeb Bush's 2016 presidential campaign, before announcing in November 2020 that he had left the Republican Party. Since February 2024 he has hosted The Bulwark Podcast, the flagship show of the anti-Trump Bulwark outlet where he is writer-at-large, and he wrote the bestselling memoir Why We Did It criticizing Republican elites' accommodation of Trump. He is also an MS NOW (formerly MSNBC) contributor and works frequently with progressive outlets, appearing on Pod Save America and co-hosting the "Inside the Right" series on Brian Tyler Cohen's YouTube channel — placing him in the anti-Trump center-left media ecosystem despite his conservative roots.
