Steven Connor Cortes (born January 5, 1972)[1] is a business executive and conservative television broadcaster in his native Chicago, Illinois. From 2020 to 2021, he co-hosted with Jenn Pellegrino the program known as Cortes and Pellegrino, a nightly news program on Newsmax. However, in November 2021, Cortes was removed from the television show because of his vocal opposition to company policy requiring vaccine mandates, which are at odds with Newsmax chief executive officer Christopher Ruddy. The program had low ratings too, perhaps because it was cast opposite Sean Hannity on Fox News at the 9 p.m. Eastern time slot. Usually the program had firebrand Michael Savage of San Francisco as a guest on a near weekly basis. Cortes is also a former campaign spokesman for former U.S. President Donald Trump.[2]Before the assignment on Newsmax, he was a commentator for CNBC and Fox News.[3]

After college, he sold government bonds through Prudent Financial, Inc. Then he established his own company, VeraCruz, LLC , which offers real estate market research. In 2001, he published a book on investments entitled, "Against the Herd: 6 Contrarian Investment Strategies You Should Follow.[3]
