Early life and education Tim Alberta was born to parents Richard and Donna Alberta.

Career After college, Alberta interned for the Wall Street Journal; by 2017, he was an established journalist in Washington.

In 2019, Alberta published his first book, American Carnage: On the Front Lines of the Republican Civil War and the Rise of President Trump. Shortly afterward, his father died, and upon returning to Michigan to attend the funeral, he was reprimanded by several members of his father's church who objected to his coverage of Trump; one congregant said Alberta was "part of an evil plot [...] out to undermine God's ordained leader of the United States". Disturbed by this experience, Alberta began studying the relationship between American Evangelical Christianity and the radical right, which became the subject of his next book, The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism, published in 2023.

Personal life , Alberta lives in Michigan. He and his wife have three children.
