Andrew Michael Sullivan (born 10 August 1963) is a British-American conservative political commentator. Sullivan is a former editor of The New Republic, and the author or editor of six books. He started a political blog, The Daily Dish, in 2000, and eventually moved his blog to platforms, including Time, The Atlantic, The Daily Beast, and finally an independent subscription-based format. He retired from blogging in 2015. From 2016 to 2020, Sullivan was a writer-at-large at New York. He launched his newsletter The Weekly Dish in July 2020.
Born and raised in Britain, Sullivan has lived in the U.S. since 1984. He is openly gay and a practising Catholic. Sullivan said that his conservatism is rooted in his Catholic background and in the ideas of the British political philosopher Michael Oakeshott.He originally supported neoconservative policies such as the war on terror that began in 2001. In 2003, he wrote that he could no longer support the American conservative movement, as he was disaffected with the Republican Party's continued rightward shift toward social conservatism during the George W. Bush era, and by 2012 he had additionally begun to argue that “the catastrophe of the Bush–Cheney years ... all but exploded the logic of neoconservatism and its domestic partner-in-crime, supply-side economics.” In 2023, he described himself as a liberal conservative.
