The Fox News Network has made an announcement about Peter Doocy’s future that is sure to please his many fans. For a number of years, Doocy has been the network’s primary White House correspondent. He has been promoted to senior White House correspondent, a position that will see him overseeing the network’s coverage of the Biden administration.
Jay Wallace, president and executive editor at FOX News Media, expressed his enthusiasm for Doocy’s advancement in a press release Monday, stating, “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’s journalism career has been defined by his steadfast coverage of major political and breaking news events. After graduating from Villanova University with a B.A. in political science, he joined FOX News as a New York-based general assignment reporter in 2009. Since then, Doocy has reported on every major political election from 2009 onward. His assignments have included the 80th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy, the ongoing conflicts in Israel and Ukraine, and following Joe Biden on the campaign trail.
Doocy said, “I am honored to continue bringing our viewers the latest on the news that impacts them the most from White House and around the globe.” His career highs include hosting FOX Nation’s “Strike Zone: The Congressional Baseball Shooting” and an FNC documentary titled “The Man Who Killed Usama bin Laden,” which featured the first interview with Navy Seal Rob O’Neill.
Peter Doocy is widely recognized as the son of Steve Doocy, the television personality and co-host of “Fox & Friends,” one of FOX News’s flagship morning shows. Growing up in a family with strong ties to the media industry, Peter was exposed to journalism early on, which significantly influenced his career path.
Over the years, Peter Doocy has built a reputation for his on-the-spot reporting and his ability to handle high-pressure situations during live broadcasts. He is particularly known for his unique interviewing style during press conferences, often eliciting noteworthy responses from White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, public figures, and presidents.
One of the most memorable moments occurred during a press conference when Biden, responding to a question from Doocy, jokingly called him a “stupid son of a bitch.” The comment made headlines and was widely discussed in the media. Biden later called Doocy to clear the air, suggesting that despite the sharp exchange, there was an underlying professional respect.
