About Ron Reagan

Ronald Prescott Reagan (born May 20, 1958) is an American political commentator and broadcaster. He is a former radio host and political analyst for KIRO and Air America Radio, and has hosted his own daily three-hour show with them. Reagan has also been a contributor to MS NOW. His progressive views contrast with those of his conservative father, President Ronald Reagan. As a lifelong supporter of progressive and Democrat causes, he has been an outspoken critic of the 21st century Republican Party, having been a prominent opponent of George W. Bush before later claiming that his father would be "ashamed" over the influence of Donald Trump in the Republican Party. His older adoptive brother, Michael Reagan, adopted as an infant by Ronald Reagan and his first wife, Jane Wyman, was 13 years older. In Britain, he is best known for having co-presented Record Breakers (based on The Guinness Book of Records) for the BBC. Reagan became more politically active after his father left the White House in 1989.
