Fox News Media has promoted Aishah Hasnie to serve as the network’s newest anchor and White House correspondent, the company said on Tuesday.
As part of her new role, Hasnie will launch a Saturday news program airing from 12 to 2 p.m. Eastern Time beginning January 10 and will start reporting from the White House this week, Fox News Media affirmed.
“Aishah’s knowledge of Washington makes her a perfect addition to our stellar White House team of correspondents, and we are confident she will excel in the anchor chair as well,” Jay Wallace, the President and Executive Editor at Fox News Media, said in a statement.
“I am thrilled for the opportunity to deliver critical information to our viewers across the country in the anchor chair and honored to join our prestigious White House correspondent team,” Hasnie said.
Hasnie joined Fox News in 2019 and has held several prominent reporting assignments, including senior national correspondent and congressional correspondent. She previously worked from the network’s New York bureau. Her interviews have included German Chancellor Friedreich Merz, Taiwanese Ambassador Alexander Yui and then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. She also reported extensively from the campaign trail during the 2020 and 2024 presidential elections.
While covering Congress, Hasnie reported on the 2025 federal government shutdown and the marathon 2023 vote that led to Representative Mike Johnson’s election as Speaker of the House. Variety named her a New York Woman of Impact in 2020 for her reporting on the coronavirus pandemic, including coverage of how Muslim Americans observed Ramadan under public health restrictions.
Before joining Fox News, Hasnie anchored the “First at Four” newscast and worked as an investigative reporter at WXIN (Channel 59), the Fox affiliate in Indianapolis. She also served as an investigative reporter and substitute anchor at WANE (Channel 15), the CBS station in Fort Wayne, where her enterprise reporting on voyeurism laws prompted local legislative changes.
Her work has earned recognition from the Indiana Associated Press and the Society of Professional Journalists, and she is an Emmy nominee.
