Richard A. Lowry (/ˈlaʊri/; born August 22, 1968)[1] is a writer, and the former editor and now editor-in-chief of National Review, an American conservative news and opinion magazine.

Lowry is also a syndicated columnist, author, and political analyst who is a frequent guest on NBC News and Meet the Press.

[1][2][3][4] After graduating from Yorktown High School in Arlington, Lowry attended the University of Virginia, where he studied English and history.

[5] In November 1997, Lowry became editor of National Review at the age of 29, taking over from John O'Sullivan, who had succeeded Buckley in that position ten years earlier.

"[14] Pulitzer Prize winner Carlos Lozada was harshly critical of the book in a review for The Washington Post, describing it as an attempt to sanitize President Donald Trump's variant of nationalism and "part of a larger effort on the right to create an after-the-fact framework for Trumpism, to contort the president's utterances and impulses into a coherent worldview that can outlast him — a sort of rescue mission for the conservative movement.
