Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy expressed that he will miss President Joe Biden and their often confrontational relationship.
In an interview with New York Magazine on Wednesday, Doocy discussed his attendance at the Democratic National Convention with Charlotte Klein, a media columnist and features writer.
“I believe people required an outlet to feel excited about something,” stated the son of Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy, referring to the convention after he provided updates to his network’s viewers during Wednesday’s edition of Special Report with host Bret Baier.
Klein noted that the Fox News reporter and Biden had engaged in a series of contentious exchanges over the past four years, which had attracted significant attention. He then asked about Biden’s views on the Democratic convention.
Klein wrote:
This is the Fox News perspective on all this Democratic enthusiasm: roll their eyes and wait for the sugar high to wear off. “At some point, they must do more than just enjoy lively music for every state and discuss who Kamala Harris and Doug are, and how much they miss the Clintons and the Obamas.” Speaking of which, what was his opinion of the Obamas last night? “It was powerful,” he remarked, adding, “I’m surprised that in an era where everyone has a platform to share their thoughts on social media, no one can articulate like that.” For “two individuals who are essentially out of politics, they commanded this crowd remarkably well.”
We navigate onto the floor, maneuvering through the crowd, some of whom request a selfie with Doocy—despite his being in a bubble distinct from the one he typically shines in. Regardless of his political stance, they still recognize him. “This particular crowd is likely, per capita, the highest consumers of White House briefings of anywhere I know in America.”
After contemplating his recent brief visit to Chicago, Klein inquired of Doocy whether he believed that Democrats had made an appropriate decision in selecting Vice President Kamala Harris to contest former President Donald Trump in the upcoming November election.
“Considering this week here, yes, but during my time here for the Biden walkthrough, and the familiarity I have developed with him over the past five years—when I observed him gazing out at all of this, it appeared as though he was pondering, am I making the right choice?” Doocy responded.
Doocy acknowledged that he would feel remorse for engaging in confrontations with Biden during interviews and briefings while representing Fox News at the White House for numerous Americans.
