Fans of FOX News have expressed concern over Dana Perino’s recent absence from America’s Newsroom and The Five. Perino, a former White House Press Secretary under George W. Bush, has been a staple at FOX News since 2009, co-anchoring America’s Newsroom with Bill Hemmer since 2021 and co-hosting The Five.
Her last appearances on both shows were confirmed to be on July 28, and while she has not provided an explanation for her absence, it is known that she is taking time off to spend with family. During this time, Perino has been active on social media, sharing photos of her dog, Percy, which has led fans to speculate about her well-being.
Concerned viewers have taken to social media to express their worries, with many missing her presence on the shows. Comments like, “I hope you are OK Dana, you seem to be off a lot lately,” reflect the sentiment among her fans, who are eager for her return.
In her absence, Julie Banderas has stepped in to co-anchor America’s Newsroom, announcing her role on July 31. While fans welcomed Banderas, they continued to voice their concerns about Perino, highlighting how noticeable her absence has been. The Sun has reached out to both Perino and FOX News for further comment.
