Andrew Sullivan

Andrew Michael Sullivan (born 10 August 1963) is a British-American conservative political commentator. Sullivan is a former editor of ''The New Republic'', and the author or editor of six books. He started a political blog, ''The Daily Dish'', in 2000, and eventually moved his blog to platforms, including ''Time'', ''The Atlantic'', ''The Daily Beast'', and finally an independent subscription-based format. He retired from blogging in 2015. From 2016 to 2020, Sullivan was a writer-at-large at ''New York''. He launched his newsletter ''The Weekly Dish'' in July 2020.

Sullivan has said that his conservatism is rooted in his Catholic background and in the ideas of the British political philosopher Michael Oakeshott. In 2003, he wrote that he could no longer support the American conservative movement, as he was disaffected with the Republican Party's continued rightward shift toward social conservatism during the George W. Bush era.

Born and raised in Britain, Sullivan has lived in the U.S. since 1984. He is openly gay and a practicing Catholic. Provided by Wikipedia
