My Take
What fascinates me about Heather Nauert is the rare leap she made from reading the news to becoming the one fielding the questions. A Columbia journalism graduate who built her name on Fox & Friends, she crossed the divide to serve as State Department Spokesperson during a turbulent administration. That pivot, from narrator to subject, takes nerve few possess. Her time in that role was politically charged and not without controversy, but I tend to value people who have lived on both sides of the microphone. Whatever one thinks of her politics, having both told stories and been the story lends a person a perspective worth respecting.
