Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett; and other major stories. She has covered every presidential and midterm election since 2008.

In addition to her Emmy, Caldwell received the Joan Shorenstein Barone Award for Excellence in Congressional Reporting in 2018 for her leading role in NBC’s coverage of sexual harassment on Capitol Hill. She also received the Radio Television Digital News First Amendment Clarity Award as part of the NBC News Road Warrior team covering the 2018 midterm elections. In addition, she won a New York Press Club Award for her feature writing about Trump during the 2016 election.
