O'Neill, who claims to have fired the shot that killed Osama bin Laden. That special reportedly had the highest ratings of any documentary in Fox News history.In October 2017, Doocy asked Senator John McCain (R-AZ), "Has your relationship with the president frayed to the point that you're not going to support anything that he comes to you and asks for?" McCain responded, "Why would you say something that stupid? Why would you ask something that dumb, huh? ... That's a dumb question. "He was a campaign reporter in the 2018 midterm elections.=== White House correspondent ===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. He quickly established a reputation for clashing with the president and White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. Several Doocy–Psaki exchanges became Internet memes.After covering a White House East Room meeting focused on economic competitiveness and inflation, a departing Doocy called out to Biden: "Do you think inflation is a political liability in the midterms?" Lowering his voice, and turning slightly away from the hot mic beneath him; as ABC reported, "Biden responded with sarcasm, 'It's a great asset — more inflation.' Then he shook his head and added, 'What a stupid son of a bitch.'" Some sources have speculated about whether or not Biden intended to have his comments picked up by the microphone. Biden called Doocy within an hour to clear the air. According to Doocy, Biden said, "It's nothing personal, pal. "In February 2024, Doocy asked Joe Biden, "How bad is your memory? Can you continue as president?" The president, noticeably upset, added ironically: "My memory is so bad that I let you speak" and then answered other questions from the reporters present in the room. This was after a report describing the memory of Joe Biden as "poor" released.
Personal life In April 2021, Doocy married Hillary Vaughn, a Fox Business correspondent.
