Fox News personality Steve Doocy has traveled more than 162,000 miles this year. His coast-to-coast approach to covering America has taken him across the country.
What We Know: After relocating to Florida in 2025, Doocy adjusted his daily schedule on FOX & Friends to accommodate his new home.

What They Said: “Five diners, five states, and five days. Now that my trip across America is complete, I am absolutely exhausted. But worth every mile because the best political analysts in America aren’t always in Washington … And unlike the experts on TV, they actually know what a dozen eggs cost them, and exactly what they paid on their last tank of gas.
“Thanks, America, for telling me what you really think. Turns out, the only thing stronger than the diner coffee is your opinions! After flying 162,000 miles so far this year — I’ve learned one really important thing: You can’t take the pulse of America if you don’t talk to Americans. You’ve got to get on the ground, shake hands, ask questions, and then listen to the people. And that’s what Breakfast with Friends is all about: asking questions, getting honest opinions, and having a laugh or two. The funny thing is, politicians and pollsters spend millions trying to figure out what voters think. I just ask them between bites of cheesy scrambled eggs and crispy bacon.” -Steve Doocy
What It Means: Doocy’s travels represent Fox News’ effort to bring its coverage beyond Washington and the traditional political media circuit. With the 2026 midterm elections approaching, his diner conversations offer a chance to hear directly from voters. Moreover, his 162,000 miles of travel demonstrate the commitment behind his coast-to-coast hosting approach.
