Michael Tracey (born 1987/1988) is an independent journalist based in New Jersey.

Summary

Tracey's articles have been published in The Federalist, The New York Daily News, The Wall Street Journal, and many other publications. He is known for sharing his idiosyncratic political views on Twitter, where he has over 150,000 followers, and for covering the riots associated with the 2020 George Floyd protests, which he claims were mostly ignored by other journalists.

He has been described, in analysis of the contemporary media landscape in the late 2010s and early 2020s, as a "Left Heretic", alongside other journalists such as Lee Fang and Zaid Jilani. "Left Heretics" are defined as those who hail from the left of politics, but who are widely detested by those on the mainstream left for deviating from consensus on certain issues, notably involving identity politics.

Personal views

Tracey supported Bernie Sanders in the 2016 US Democratic primaries, and advocated "conscious abstention" in the 2016 Presidential election. He has been highly critical of the Clintons (Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton). He did not express a preference for either candidate in the 2020 Presidential election.
