Mary Katharine Ham (born April 5, 1980) is an American journalist. She has been a contributing editor for Townhall and Hot Air,[1] a writer at The Federalist,[2] and a CNN contributor.[3]

Career

[edit]

Ham wrote for the Richmond County Daily Journal, Townhall.com where she was a columnist and managing editor, and The Washington Examiner.[4] Her video blog series for Townhall.com, HamNation, won a Golden Dot award for Best Vlog of 2006 from the Institute for Politics, Democracy & the Internet and her HamNation video, "Sopranos DC," was voted "Video of the Year" in the 2007 Weblog Awards.[5] The series ended in June 2008.[6]

Ham was a host of The Morning Majority (5–9 a.m., Monday–Friday) on WMAL (simulcast on 105.9 FM and 630 AM) in Washington, D.C., until March 5, 2012.[7][8]

Ham describes her political leaning as "primarily fiscal- and security-conscious conservative".[9]

At the 2014 Conservative Political Action Conference, she was presented with the American Conservative Union Blogger of the Year award.[3][10]

In October 2022, Ham wrote that she had been quietly suspended from work at CNN for seven months after commenting on colleague Jeffrey Toobin's masturbation incident caught on Zoom while at work.[11] This incident led to her departure from the network.

In June of 2024 she joined Fox News as a contributor. She also works for Fox's sports and commentary site, OutKick.[12]

Personal life

[edit]

Ham was married to Jake Brewer, a White House aide.[13] The couple married in 2011; two years later, Ham gave birth to their first child, a girl.[14] Brewer died from serious injuries sustained in a bicycle accident on September 19, 2015, while Ham was in her third trimester of pregnancy with their second baby.[15] Ham gave birth to their second child, a girl, in late 2015.[16]

Ham remarried on March 7, 2020,[17] to a man "who has no social media presence".[18] As of March 2023, Ham has three daughters and a son.[19][20]
