A long-time Republican political strategist, Steve Schmidt joined John McCain’s presidential campaign in January 2008, helping lead the candidate to an improbable comeback win in the Republican primaries. "The New York Times" credited Mr. Schmidt with transforming McCain into “an elbows out, disciplined, risk-taking machine.” Previously, Mr. Schmidt served as a top advisor to President George W.
