Reagan Forum with Andrea Mitchell:

• On Monday, December 8th, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library welcomes Andrea Mitchell for a Reagan Forum.

Andrea Mitchell, one of NBC and MSNBC's most experienced correspondents, hosts an hour of political interviews with top campaign newsmakers each day at 1 p.m. Eastern on MSNBC. She has covered the 2008 campaign since early 2007, including the candidate debates and primaries. Currently, Mitchell serves as NBC's Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent, reporting on evolving foreign policy issues in the United States and abroad for all NBC News broadcasts.

As a featured political correspondent in 2004, Mitchell was a regular panelist on MSNBC’s “Hardball” and was the first reporter to break the story that Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry had chosen Sen. John Edwards as his vice presidential runningmate.

Mitchell first covered the White House for NBC News from 1981-1988, during both of Ronald Reagan’s terms as President. Mitchell is married to former Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan and resides in Washington,D.C.
