Patrick Caddell, a pollster for Jimmy Carter who later became a writer, consultant and co-producer on The West Wing, among other TV and film work, has died. Caddell died Saturday in Charleston, South Carolina, after suffering a stroke, Professor Kendra Stewart of the College of Charleston, told The Associated Press. He was 68.
Caddell began his political career in the 1970s, working with Carter and other Democratic candidates before becoming a conservative pundit in recent years, becoming an informal adviser on President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, via a close relationship with Steve Bannon. He also was a contributor to Fox News from 2009 to 2016, appearing on Hannity and Fox Report with Shepard Smith, among other programs.
Caddell first worked with 1972 Democratic nominee George McGovern, then joined with Carter in the mid-1970s, eventually helping propel Carter to his longshot win for the presidency.
