Bo Erickson is a Marshall, Minnesota, native who has built a notable career as a journalist, most prominently as a campaign reporter for CBS News covering the Joe Biden 2020 presidential campaign[1]. His interest in journalism was evident early, starting as a middle school cub reporter for Weekly Reader magazine, and he was recognized even then for his curiosity and storytelling skills[1]. Erickson pursued higher education at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., where he earned a degree in journalism/mass communications and Arabic[1]. This academic background laid the foundation for his professional trajectory in major media outlets. After graduating, Erickson gained valuable experience through internships at NBC News and NPR, which helped him transition to a full-time role at CBS News[1]. His reporting has focused on national politics, and he became a fixture on the campaign trail during the 2020 election, following Joe Biden from the candidate’s first event in Pittsburgh through the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic[1]. The pandemic notably altered the nature of campaign journalism, and Erickson has highlighted how the race evolved from a frenetic, in-person schedule to a more subdued, socially distanced effort[1]. While Erickson’s most visible role to date has been covering the Biden campaign, his broader career reflects a commitment to political journalism and a knack for adapting to rapidly changing news environments. As of the most recent available information, he remains active in the field, though there are no widely reported recent events or additional high-profile assignments beyond his 2020 campaign coverage[1]. Erickson’s journey from a small-town reporter to a national correspondent exemplifies a career driven by early passion, educational investment, and professional persistence in the competitive world of broadcast journalism[1].
