WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 12, 2025) – The Hill, the country’s definitive digital source for non-partisan political news and information, today announced that Lindsey Granger has been named co-host of its flagship morning show, Rising, alongside Robby Soave, effective immediately. The Hill also announced that beginning this month, Rising will be available on broadcast television for the first time, airing locally on DCNEWSNOW, the Nexstar Media television station serving Washington, D.C., and the surrounding area.

Rising airs live from 9-10 a.m. ET and provides a fresh take on politics and culture. The show offers a lively discussion of current events and news, as well as opinions and insights that stay ahead of the trends. Ms. Granger most recently served as a NewsNation contributor. She also writes for the digital website Bustle, where she covers culture and political topics.

“Lindsey has a unique voice that is needed in the current marketplace, and we are delighted to bring her on board,” said Bill Sammon, Senior Vice President of Washington, D.C. editorial content at The Hill. “Her passion for the country and experience debating a wide variety of topics will make her an asset to the show. We are also thrilled that Washingtonians will have the opportunity to watch Rising’s new duo on their local DCNEWSNOW station.”

Ms. Granger is the co-owner of Gilded Focus Productions, a multimedia production company specializing in unscripted television, documentaries, and live events. The Hill will license the company’s unscripted travel series, World of Travel, which explores the rich history, culture and political landscape of nations across the globe, with Season 2 premiering in October 2025.

“Joining NewsNation last year and now expanding my role to co-host Rising feels like finding the right home at the right time — a place where wide-ranging analysis isn’t just welcomed, it’s championed,” said Ms. Granger. I’m proud to bring my voice as a journalist and political analyst to a team committed to nuance, fearless storytelling, and sparking conversations that resonate far beyond the beltway. Sharing work I’ve built from the ground up, including World of Travel, with a platform that values both journalistic depth and creative vision is an incredible honor.”

Prior to joining NewsNation, Ms. Granger served as a guest host during Season 25 of ABC’s The View. Additionally, she hosted a nationally syndicated talk show called “Daily Blast Live” and served as a national correspondent for The List. Ms. Granger also hosted entertainment and news segments for People and TIME magazine online.

From 2009 to 2014, she worked as a field producer for several daytime programs on MSNBC, including Andrea Mitchell Reports and Melissa Harris-Perry. She has written and produced special coverage for NBC News, including events such as the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton and the 2012 Republican and Democratic National Conventions.

She is a TEDx speaker and the recipient of an International Radio and Television Society fellowship. A graduate of Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Ms. Granger earned a bachelor’s degree in broadcast, telecommunications, and mass media.
