Fox Elevates Doocy and Heinrich to Senior White House Roles

Fox News has elevated Peter Doocy and Jacqui Heinrich to the positions of senior White House correspondents.

In these new roles, both Doocy and Heinrich will continue to report on the President's domestic and international engagements, as well as the issues impacting the administration.

Peter Doocy, who is the son of Steve Doocy, host of Fox and Friends, has been with the network since 2009 and notably covered President Joe Biden's 2020 campaign.

Jacqui Heinrich joined Fox in 2018 as a general assignment reporter based in New York. In 2022, she was elected by the White House press corps to the White House Correspondents Association board for a three-year term.

Network president and executive editor Jay Wallace stated in a press release, “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 expressed his gratitude, saying, “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 highlighted Doocy's coverage in his White House correspondent role, which includes reporting on significant events like the 80th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy, France, the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and President Biden's campaign activities over the past year. He has covered every major political election since 2009 and reported live from major breaking news events across the nation.

In 2024, Doocy hosted FOX Nation’s “Strike Zone: The Congressional Baseball Shooting” and previously hosted the FNC documentary “The Man Who Killed Usama bin Laden,” which featured the first interview with Navy Seal Rob O’Neill. His coverage also includes the manhunt for two escaped prisoners from the Clinton Correction Facility in Dannemora, NY, the 2013 Navy Yard shooting in Washington, DC, the Boston Marathon bombing, and the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. He joined the network as a New York-based general assignment reporter in 2009 after graduating from Villanova University with a B.A. in political science.

Heinrich will continue to cover all aspects of the White House and the President’s national and international activities, while also co-hosting FOX News Audio’s FOX News Rundown podcast.

Wallace remarked, “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 expressed, “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, Heinrich has reported on various domestic and international issues affecting the administration, such as the border crisis, the 2023 Iran prisoner swap, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act reauthorization bill, the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, Biden’s student debt relief plan, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the COVID-19 pandemic. She has traveled with President Biden to 17 countries, and her questions to the president and administration officials often make headlines and advance news stories on a wide range of topics.

In 2022, Heinrich was elected by the White House press corps to represent her peers on the White House Correspondents Association’s board for a three-year term. She joined Fox as a general assignment reporter in New York in 2018, provided live coverage from the campaign trail during the 2020 presidential election, and reported from both the Democratic and Republican National Conventions. In 2021, she was promoted to congressional correspondent, moved to Washington, DC, and was later promoted to White House correspondent.
