Dana Perino Fans Fear for Fox News Anchor After Absence from America’s Newsroom and The Five

Fans of Fox News have grown increasingly concerned over the unexpected absence of Dana Perino from two of the network’s flagship programs, America’s Newsroom and The Five. Perino, a well-known political commentator and former White House Press Secretary under George W. Bush, has been a key figure at Fox News since joining the network in 2009.

Perino has not been seen on her regular shows since July 28, leaving viewers puzzled and prompting a wave of speculation on social media. While there has been no official statement from either Fox News or Perino regarding the reason for her absence, some reports suggest she may be taking time off to spend with family.

Fans Express Concern

Perino’s sudden and prolonged absence has not gone unnoticed, with many fans turning to social media to express their worry. One Twitter user wrote, “Is anyone else missing @DanaPerino? I’m hoping she’s not sick. It’s weird not having Dana on @AmericaNewsroom and @TheFive. Dana, come back soon—you’re greatly missed. I’m keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.”

Another user echoed similar sentiments, writing, “I was thinking the same thing. She’s been gone a lot in the last few months. I hope everything is okay.”

A third fan questioned whether Perino’s absence indicated a larger issue, tweeting, “Is Dana off AGAIN??? I enjoy Julie, but is everything OK with Dana?”

Social Media Updates Provide Few Clues

While Perino has remained absent from television, she has been active on social media, posting photos of her beloved dog, Percy, on Instagram. These updates, however, have not provided much clarity regarding her whereabouts or the reason behind her prolonged break from broadcasting.

Some fans have speculated that she may simply be taking a much-needed vacation, while others worry that a potential health issue or other personal matters could be behind her disappearance from the airwaves.

Julie Banderas Fills In

In Perino’s absence, Fox News anchor Julie Banderas has stepped in to co-host America’s Newsroom alongside Bill Hemmer. Banderas confirmed the temporary assignment in a tweet on July 31, stating that she would be co-hosting the program throughout the week.

While many viewers welcomed Banderas, the announcement only fueled further speculation, as fans continued to ask why Perino had not returned.

Awaiting Official Comment

As of now, neither Perino nor Fox News has issued a formal statement regarding her absence. The lack of transparency has only intensified curiosity and concern among her dedicated viewers. The Sun has reportedly reached out to both Perino and Fox News for comment, but no response has been provided.

Until further details emerge, fans will have to wait and hope for Perino’s return to their television screens. Whether she is simply enjoying some time away with her family or facing a more serious issue, her loyal audience remains eager to see her back on America’s Newsroom and The Five soon.
