New York Times Bestselling Author, Two-Time Emmy Award Winner, ABC News Live Prime Anchor & World News Tonight Weekend Anchor
Linsey Davis Biography
Linsey Davis is currently an anchor for "ABC News Live Prime," which is ABC News Live’s first-ever streaming evening newscast, and weekend “World News Tonight” on Sundays. She is a correspondent filing reports for “World News Tonight,” “Good Morning America,” “20/20” and “Nightline.”
Davis helped lead the ABC News coverage of the 2022 midterm elections and was at the forefront of ABC News' coverage of the 2020 presidential election, spanning all eight nights of the Democratic and Republican National Conventions. She co-anchored major political events, such as two presidential debates, presidential election coverage and Inauguration Day. Showcasing her tough but fair moderating skills at ABC News' Democratic presidential debates in September 2019 and February 2020, Davis held candidates accountable on topics of racial inequality and other key issues.
Davis has conducted powerful exclusive interviews with celebrities, major influential figures, politicians and health officials, including Jonathan Majors, after he was convicted of one misdemeanor assault charge and one harassment violation at the end of 2023; Boris Johnson, shortly after he left his position as prime minister; the victims who suffered abuse at the hands of Larry Ray at Sarah Lawrence University; Shelley Lynn Thornton, also known as Baby Roe, the daughter of Jane Roe; Kevin Strickland, a wrongfully convicted Missouri man who was released from prison after 43 years; Myon Burrell, a Minneapolis inmate who said he was wrongfully convicted for murder; and Nick Cannon, discussing his journey towards atonement, education and self-improvement after making antisemitic comments and espousing conspiracy theories. Davis also got the only interview with comedian Bill Cosby in the wake of dozens of sexual assault allegations.
Additionally, Davis has interviewed major influential figures, politicians and health officials including Hillary Clinton, Mike Pence, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Nikole Hannah-Jones, Anita Hill, Bill Gates, Dionne Warwick, Huma Abedin, Dave Grohl, Billy Porter, and nearly two dozen senators from both sides of the aisle and dozens of House representatives.
In June, 2020, as the racial divide in America and the protests against police brutality were growing, Davis led the first roundtable discussion with Black female mayors of Atlanta, Georgia, Washington, D.C., Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Tacoma, Washington. Davis also anchored the documentary “Homegrown Hate: The War Among Us,” which shed a spotlight on the issue of domestic terrorism and hate-inspired violence in the United States.
Davis has covered news stories around the globe, including the Las Vegas massacre, Harvey Weinstein allegations and subsequent MeToo Movement, Boston Marathon bombing, Nairobi Mall massacre and several of President Obama’s trips overseas. Her coverage ranges from the 2016 presidential election to social injustice and various natural disasters, including the earthquake in Haiti and multiple hurricanes.
In 2009, Davis reported on the miracle on the Hudson and Michael Jackson’s death. That same year, she also made waves with her “Nightline” report “Single Black Female.” The story, which went viral, examined why African American women are the least likely of any race or gender to walk down the aisle.
Davis joined ABC News as a New York-based correspondent for ABC NewsOne, the network’s affiliate news service. Before joining the network in June 2007, Davis was anchor of the weekend evening newscasts at WTHR-TV in Indianapolis. She started out as a reporter in 2003 and, during her time there, reported from New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, from Torino for the 2006 Winter Olympics and from Athens for the 2004 Summer Olympics. From 2001-2003, she was a reporter at WJRT-TV, the ABC owned station in Flint, Michigan. Davis has received several honors for her reporting, including two Emmy® Awards and a regional Edward R. Murrow Award.
Davis is a prolific children's book author: “Girls of the World," “The Smallest Spot of a Dot,” “How High is Heaven,” “Stay This Way Forever,” “One Big Heart” and “The World is Awake” have all become bestsellers.
Davis earned her undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Virginia and a Master of Arts degree in communications from New York University.
