John Geddes, formerly managing editor of the New York Times editor, has joined Bloomberg as U.S. politics editor, according to several reports.

Geddes was one of the three top Times editors for a decade before accepting a buyout in 2013. He was most recently Shorenstein Fellow at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.

At Bloomberg, Geddes will work alongside “Game Change” authors Mark Halperin and John Heilemann to boost Bloomberg’s coverage of the 2016 presidential election, according to Poynter. He will split his time between New York and the nation’s capital.

The move comes about two months after Bloomberg cut about a dozen people from its Washington office (out of a total of roughly 55 people being laid off), said the New York Post.

Jonathan Allen, the Washington bureau chief, quit to join Vox Media in the spring. Megan Murphy, from the Financial Times, was named D.C. bureau chief in August.
