And Snow has conducted exclusive interviews with newsmakers from President Barack Obama to billionaire Richard Branson, from Senator Ted Kennedy to Beyonce and Bono.
Snow has covered several presidential elections in her career. In 2008, she covered the campaign of Hillary Clinton from start to finish. For some eighteen months, Snow did double duty as a weekend anchor and the lead correspondent on that campaign during the week. She also covered the Democratic convention in Denver and Alaska Gov.

In the summer of 2008, Snow won kudos for conducting the first interview with former President Bill Clinton in the wake of his wife's failed White House run.
In 2004, Snow was the first network correspondent to travel with Sen. John Kerry during his campaign for the White House. She also covered President George W. Bush's re-election campaign that year.
