Cokie Roberts Longtime ABC News Political Journalist Dead At 75

NEW YORK, NY. (THECOUNT) —ABC News political journalist Cokie Roberts has died. She was 75 years old.

Cokie, whose full name was Mary Martha Corinne Morrison Claiborne, spent more than four decades reporting on stories that shaped the country and everyone in it. She was one of the early pioneers of women covering politics.

Roberts was the daughter of longtime U.S. Representatives Hale Boggs and Lindy Boggs, who won her husband’s seat when he died in a plane crash. Together they represented New Orleans for 46 years. Through them, Cokie got a front-row seat to politics, ABC7 is reporting Tuesday morning.
