Nate Hochman

Nate Hochman (born 1999/2000) is an American right-wing political activist and writer. He wrote for the National Review from 2021 to 2023 Hochman argued in an article for The Spectator that the Republican Party should work to maximize the turnout of white voters as a political strategy, which The Guardian described as an echoing of the Sailer Strategy. In an article titled "Was it Worth the Empanadas?" Hochman argued that immigration would "dismantle and replace both America and the civilization that gave birth to it". The Guardian stated that the article "portrayed immigration in the terms of the 'Great Replacement' conspiracy theory".

According to a 2022 article published on conservative website The Dispatch, Hochman had debated white nationalist Nick Fuentes in a Twitter Spaces group in 2021. In the debate, he disagreed with Fuentes on a number of topics, while also telling him that "ou’ve gotten a lot of kids based, and we respect that for sure" and that "I think Nick is probably a better influence than Ben Shapiro on young men". He criticized Fuentes' focus on white identitarianism, saying that "that kind of politics is no longer viable in America. Maybe it would be ideal if it were, but if you are running a political campaign, a political strategy around activating white identity as an organizing principle of your politics [ensures that] you are going to lose." which he said was not true. A different video shared by the same account included an image of DeSantis alongside Benito Mussolini and other Nazi activists. Hochman was fired in July.

In 2024, Hochman was hired as an advisor to America 2100, a thinktank with ties to then-United States senator Marco Rubio. Hochman has also written for the IM-1776 magazine, which The Guardian described as a far-right publication that had defended Holocaust revisionist Darryl Cooper and published alt-right activist Douglass Mackey's writings. Hochman was hired as a policy advisor to United States senator Eric Schmitt in 2025.

Personal life Hochman was raised in a secular Jewish home and later identified as a Roman Catholic. He graduated from Colorado College in 2021.
