Abby Huntsman, a general assignment reporter for Fox News Channel and co-host of the weekend edition of Fox & Friends, is set to join The View, according to E! News.
The 32-year-old daughter of Jon Huntsman will join Meghan McCain, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, and Sunny Hostin. Huntsman’s casting comes following the departures of panelist Sara Haines and part-time co-star Paula Faris from the ABC daytime talk show.
ABC has not yet commented on the news. Fox News said in a statement that Huntsman will host Fox and Friends Weekend for the last time this Saturday and Sunday.
Huntsman appeared as a political commentator for ABC News in 2012 during the presidential campaign of her father, a Republican leader who currently serves as the US Ambassador to Russia. In 2015, she joined Fox News as a reporter.
The TV personality is also a supporter of LGBTQ rights, including same-sex marriage, a cause most Republicans disagree.
