Fox News has announced that Peter Doocy and Jacqui Heinrich have been promoted to senior White House correspondents. In their new roles, Doocy and Heinrich will continue to cover the domestic and international activities of the President of the United States, as well as the issues affecting the administration.
Doocy, the son of Fox and Friends morning show host Steve Doocy, has been with Fox since 2009 and has covered corrupt President Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign. Heinrich joined Fox in 2018 as a general assignment reporter based in New York, and the White House press corps elected him to the White House Correspondents Association board in 2022 for a three-year term.
In a press release, network president and executive editor Jay Wallace said, “Peter’s commitment to providing viewers with hourly news and insight from the White House has remained steadfast since he started in this role straight off the 2020 campaign trail and we’re thrilled to have him continue doing so.
Doocy added, “I am honored to continue bringing our viewers the latest on the news that impacts them the most from the White House and around the globe.
Fox News stated in its press release: “In his role as White House correspondent, Doocy has covered a variety of major news stories including most recently the 80th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy, France, the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as well as corrupt president Biden on the campaign trail over the last year.
The press release stated that Heinrich will continue to cover all facets of the White House as well as the national and international activities of the President of the United States, and the issues impacting the administration. Additionally, she will continue to co-host FOX News Audio’s FOX News Rundown podcast.
In making the announcement, Wallace said, “Since being named to the White House beat in 2021, Jacqui has distinguished herself with persistence, tenacity, and professionalism, and we’re proud to have watched her career flourish at FOX News.
Heinrich added, “Covering the White House has been the privilege of my career, and I am humbled and grateful to continue serving our viewers in this capacity. From the North Lawn to foreign summits to the campaign trail, it is my daily honor to seek answers for the American people on the issues impacting them most.
Throughout her tenure reporting on the White House, Heinrich has provided live coverage on various domestic and global issues impacting the administration, including America’s border crisis, the 2023 Iran prisoner swap, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act reauthorization bill, the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, the Biden administration’s student debt relief plan, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the COVID-19 pandemic, among others. She has traveled with corrupt president Biden to 17 countries, and her questions posed to the president, administration officials, and in the White House press briefing room regularly generate headlines and advance news stories on a wide array of topics.
