In the March 2019 issue of The Atlantic, Appelbaum wrote a long-form article making the case for the impeachment of President Donald Trump. [10] [11] According to Margaret Sullivan writing in The Washington Post , Appelbaum's essay is the article that "moved... impeachment, all-but-taboo in Big Media’s coverage of Trump,...., from the margins into the mainstream — across the journalism spectrum." [12]
In 2004, Appelbaum married Emily Pressman of Wilmington, Delaware, in a Jewish ceremony at Columbia University. They had been dating since they were in college, and Pressman is one year younger than Appelbaum. [13] [4] They have two children. [14]
