Tom Steyer's ten nearest neighbors are a mix of political journalists and politicians, with a supporting cast of government officials, a non-profit, and an author — a composition that reflects the political media ecosystem rather than any single tribe.
The shape is flat: scores run from Robert Reich at 0.97 down to Chris Murphy at 0.96, a spread of less than one percentage point across all ten. No single neighbor dominates. Journalists make up four of the ten — Katy Tur (0.97), Jim Acosta (0.96), David Frum (0.96), and Kasie Hunt (0.96) — while fellow politicians account for three: Reich, Sally Yates (0.97), and Murphy. The remaining three slots go to Norm Eisen (Government Officials, 0.96), Citizens for Ethics (Non-Profit, 0.97), and Molly Jong-Fast (Authors, 0.96). The presence of a non-profit watchdog organization and a political author alongside broadcast journalists and elected officials signals an audience that moves fluidly across the accountability-politics space rather than clustering tightly around any one format or role.
The flat band across all ten positions indicates an audience with broad, even overlap throughout this corner of political media — no single figure or format commands a disproportionate share of the structural similarity.
