Ideologically, Politico's coverage has been described as centrist on American politics and atlantist on international politics.

In 2021 it was acquired for reportedly over 1 billion USD by Axel Springer SE, a German news publisher and media company. Axel Springer is Europe's largest newspaper publisher and had previously acquired Business Insider. Its employees have to abide by Axel Springer-wide guiding principles but unlike employees of its German newspapers, the employees of Politico do not have to sign a written committement to the company's principles.
