Julie Banderas (born Julie Bidwell, September 25, 1973) is an American television news presenter for Fox News. She hosted Fox Report before moving to a weekday anchor role, and currently serves as a primary weekday fill-in anchor on programs such as America's Newsroom, The Faulkner Focus, and Outnumbered. She is also a regular guest host on The Big Weekend Show and a frequent guest on Gutfeld!.
She joined Fox News in March 2005 as a general-assignment reporter.
In 2008, she replaced Laurie Dhue as the anchor for Fox Report. In 2010, she took maternity leave with Harris Faulkner assuming her responsibilities. She returned to Fox News from leave near the end of 2010 and was reassigned to the position of general news correspondent.
In June 2006, she gained international media attention for an on-air clash with Shirley Phelps-Roper, former spokeswoman for the Westboro Baptist Church, about which she later stated, "These people should be arrested, and I understand the right to protest, but when you disgrace not only our fallen soldiers, but when you disgrace innocent young children, I swear. Lock 'em up. Throw away the key. Give 'em the death penalty. I think it's disgusting."
In December 2022, Banderas announced on her Twitter account that she and Sansone had separated. On February 9, 2023, Banderas announced on Fox's Gutfeld! that she was getting a divorce.
