"During a briefing last month, the Press Secretary gave me permission to name the baby Karine and I joked we were considering naming the baby after the President: 'Joe-sephine,'" he said in an interview. "But we can report here for the first time her name is Bridget Blake Doocy."
The Fox News White House correspondent's comments reveal a more cordial relationship with the president and his press secretary than viewers routinely see during press engagements.
In January 2022, Biden notably said, "What a stupid son of a bitch" after Peter Doocy questioned him on inflation. However, the president later called to apologize.

"I knew where all the offices were for senators who used to be doctors. Sen. Barrasso (Wyoming physician of the year) saw me the day before I went into labor and told me to reach out if I ever needed anything. Luckily, I didn't have to call him to catch the baby!" she said.
