Early life and education

While in high school, Wheeler began her career in media with the publication of her first political article, "Erring on the Side of Life".

Wheeler received her Bachelor's degree with a major in Political Science and a minor in Homeland Security from Pennsylvania State University.

Career

In 2013, Wheeler at age 24 partnered with 13 other young conservatives to co-author and publish Young, Conservative, & Why it's Smart to be Like Us.[4]

On October 26, 2015, Wheeler was introduced as the host of the primetime talk show Tipping Point with Liz Wheeler, which aired weeknights at 9 PM ET/6 PM PT on the pro-President Donald Trump One America News Network.[5][6]

Wheeler spoke at Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in 2016.[7] She speaks at Young America's Foundation events.[8] In 2018, Wheeler was profiled by Politico magazine as a "titan" of conservative media alongside Ben Shapiro, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin, Tucker Carlson, Dana Loesch, and others. In the Politico profile, Wheeler said she chose a career in political media because: "We're at a point that we're replacing God with government.
