“It’s been an honor to work with some of the best journalists in the business here at FOX for more than 12 years. So many important stories emanate from Capitol Hill," said Pergram. "There is nothing more rewarding than breaking down complex Congressional stories for our millions of viewers. 2020 is already shaping up to be an unprecedented news year in Congress.

"I am thrilled to take on this new role, providing live, behind-the-scenes reporting on the latest developments across all our FOX News platforms," he added.

Pergram, an Edward R. Murrow Award winner, joined Fox News in 2007 after serving as a reporter for Capitol News Connection.

He also produced and anchored newscasts for NPR in Washington, D.C., and was a Senate producer for C-SPAN.
