Steve Inskeep's first full-time assignment for NPR was covering the 1996 presidential primary in snow-swept New Hampshire.
He went on to report on major stories in the U.S. and overseas, ranging from air disasters and wars to the United States Senate
and the 2000 presidential campaign of George W. Bush. On one of history's most unusual election nights, Inskeep filed live
reports for 20 hours from Bush headquarters in Texas. Several weeks later, he was in the room as Florida officials certified
Bush's victory.
