Aastatel 1993–1996 kajastas ta ajakirjanikuna Jugoslaavia sõja sündmusi väljaannetes U.S. News & World Report, The Boston Globe, The Economist ja The New Republic.

Power oli kuni 2008. aastani senaator Barack Obama vanemnõunik. 2008. aasta märtsis loobus ta osalemisest Obama valimiskampaanias pärast seda, kui oli vabandust palunud sel ajal senaatoriks olnud Hillary Diane Rodham Clintoni koletiseks (“a monster”) nimetamise eest.
