Pollak was born to an Orthodox Jewish family in Johannesburg, South Africa. His parents moved to the United States in 1977 and became United States citizen in 1987. He grew up in the Chicago suburbs, principally in Skokie. He attended Solomon Schechter Day School and Niles North High School, where he was the class valedictorian in 1995. Pollak attended Harvard College and graduated magna cum laude in 1999 with a joint degree in Social Studies and Environmental Science & Public Policy (ESPP). He earned a master’s degree in Jewish Studies from the University of Cape Town in 2006. From 2002 to 2006 he was chief speechwriter for Tony Leon, leader of the Democratic Alliance, and is a family friend of Leon’s successor Helen Zille. He then enrolled at Harvard Law School.

Joel Barry Pollak (born 25 April 1977) is a South African-American conservative political commentator, writer, and attorney. He currently serves as the senior-editor-at-large for Breitbart News. In 2010 he was the Republican nominee for U.S. Congress from Illinois’s 9th congressional district, losing decisively to incumbent Democrat Jan Schakowsky with 31% of the vote.
Pollak’s first book, The Kasrils Affair: Jews and Minority Politics in the New South Africa (Double Storey, 2009), is based on his master’s thesis and uses debates involving the Jewish community, particularly Ronnie Kasrils, as a window onto minority politics in general in post-apartheid South Africa. His second book, Don’t Tell Me Words Don’t Matter: How Rhetoric Won the 2008 Presidential Election (HC Press, 2009) is self-published and describes the role played by speeches in Barack Obama’s victory over John McCain. Pollak’s third book, See No Evil: 19 Hard Truths The Left Can’t Handle, was released in 2016. He coauthored How Trump Won: The Inside Story of a Revolution with Larry Schweikart in 2017.
In 2010 Pollak was the Republican nominee for U.S. Congress from Illinois’s 9th congressional district, challenging incumbent Democrat Jan Schakowsky, whom he had voted for while still a Democrat (prior to 2006).
