Fox News is making some changes to its White House bureau … subtle changes, at least.
The cable news channel has promoted White House correspondents Peter Doocy and Jacqui Heinrich to senior White House correspondents. They will both continue to cover the Biden administration, with Heinrich also continuing to host Fox News Audio’s Fox News Rundown podcast.

Doocy, who covered President Biden’s campaign in 2020 and continued in the White House, has long been something of a thorn in the side of Biden’s press team, occasionally sparring during briefings with press secretary Karine jean-Pierre, and before that Jen Psaki.
The promotions lock in Fox’s White House team during a long 2020 election process.
“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,” said Fox News president Jay Wallace.
“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,” Heinrich added. “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.”
