In this role, Bohrman oversaw newsgathering, political coverage and programming for the Washington bureau and all special events for CNN globally.

His father, Stan Bohrman was an award-winning radio and television newsman, hosting Tempo on KHJ-TV in Los Angeles in the late 1960s and early 1970s with co-hosts Maria Cole and Regis Philbin.

Also in 2008, on election night (as the key producer in charge of the global CNN Election Night in America program) he introduced television's first real-time "hologram" as correspondent Jessica Yellin and The Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am were "beamed" into the studio from Grant Park in Chicago where the Barack Obama celebration was taking place.

That venture led to the creation of The Situation Room on CNN, which relied on multiple video screens to tell stories.

[citation needed] The roots of innovation in politics for Bohrman go back to the 1988 and 2000 races for the White House.

[citation needed] For the 2000 political conventions in Philadelphia and Los Angeles, Bohrman was CEO of Pseudo.com, an internet television network.

Pseudo not only had multiple video streams live during the convention, but also a skybox in the arena,[16] and several 360 degree cameras, one of which was “gathered” by the Smithsonian and put into the permanent collection of items related to US Presidents.

[18] He produced the 2008 Election Night in America program which had more viewers than any of the other broadcast and cable networks and the highest primetime ratings in CNN’s history.

[19] He has produced all the major news events and political programs on CNN for a decade (including the 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, and 2010 elections and primaries).

[citation needed] Prior to his tenure in Washington, D.C., David Bohrman spent 25 years working in New York.

[21] From 1998 to 2000, Bohrman was executive vice president at CNNfn, the financial network and executive-in-charge for The Moneyline Newshour with Lou Dobbs.
