George Frederick Will (born May 4, 1941) is an American libertarian conservative writer and political commentator. He writes columns for The Washington Post on a regular basis and provides commentary for NewsNation.[1] In 1986, The Wall Street Journal called him "perhaps the most powerful journalist in America".[2][3] Will won the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary in 1977.[4]
A former member of the Republican Party, Will was a close ally of Ronald Reagan during his presidential campaign in 1980. He assisted Reagan with debate preparation and was later accused by former President Jimmy Carter of providing Reagan with a top secret briefing book in a scandal known as Debategate, an allegation Carter later retracted.
In later years, he became a critic of Republican politicians, including Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, and Donald Trump. Will's disapproval of Trump's presidential campaign led him to become an independent in 2016,[5] and he subsequently voted for Joe Biden in 2020,[6] and stated in September 2024 he would be voting for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.[7]
