Her work focuses on political, social and cultural divides in America, including abortion policy and the intersections of politics and religion. She's also a frequent guest host for NPR news programs.

During the 2016 election cycle, as NPR's lead political reporter covering the Donald Trump campaign, she reported on the rise of the Trump movement, divisions within the Republican Party over its future and the role of religion in those debates. McCammon's reporting has documented the growing political power of the anti-abortion-rights movement culminating with the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022, efforts by abortion rights advocates to push back and the rising tide of white Christian nationalism.
