Career

Doocy began as a general assignment reporter for Fox News in New York City in 2009 despite having no television news experience outside of his work as a student. He has covered a variety of stories that include former Vice President Dick Cheney's heart transplant surgery in March 2012, the floods in the Midwest in 2011, Hurricane Sandy, and the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections. He also reported on the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.

In 2014, Doocy obtained an exclusive TV interview with the man who killed Osama bin Laden, former Navy SEAL Robert O'Neill. That special reportedly had the highest ratings of any documentary in Fox News history.[5]

Doocy reported on the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries and the presidential campaign of the party's nominee, Joe Biden. In January 2021, Fox News named Doocy as a White House correspondent, to cover the incoming Biden administration.[6]
