Sunrise's Natalie Barr reveals her secret weapon to keep her functioning while working crazy hours during the US presidential election

As a die-hard fan of Natalie Barr and her exceptional journalism, I find myself in absolute awe of her dedication and resilience during these grueling hours covering the US presidential election. With a career spanning over two decades, she has proven time and again that she is a force to be reckoned with, and this stint in Washington DC is no exception.


Natalie Barr has disclosed her hidden advantage that helps her endure long, demanding shifts during the coverage of the U.S. presidential election.

56-year-old Australian television host has been diligently working extended hours, presenting Channel Seven’s real-time election coverage directly from Washington D.C.

She reported extensively on the events leading up to the significant election, and she was present and broadcasting live as Donald Trump claimed victory against Kamala Harris, retaking the White House.

On a Wednesday afternoon, Natalie shared on Instagram about her packed work schedule amidst the elections and her strategies for staying productive.

She shared a video of herself setting up on a rooftop in Washington DC for her final day of election coverage and revealed her secret weapon for her long shifts.

Natalie shared with her followers that she’s been adding electrolyte packets to her water for an extra boost of energy during her outdoor reporting on scorching hot days here in Washington, D.C.

She mentioned, ‘Today, we have Operation Hydra in effect, which is taking place outdoors. The temperature up here is 27 degrees, and I expect we’ll be staying put for a while.’

These packets are designed to combat dehydration, doing so by swiftly restoring both water and essential electrolytes within the body.

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but share that Natalie confided in us about her secret stash – a gigantic sack filled with my favorite goodies! Among them were bags of crunchy chips and boxes brimming with cereal bars, ensuring she was well-stocked for the marathon ahead. She was mindful to keep her energy levels high throughout the day.

‘Got our snack attack in here,’ she went on.

‘Guess what I brought from home? Sarah Di Lorenzo, the choc peanut caramel, I brought a whole box.’

On Wednesday, Donald Trump reclaimed the presidency in the United States when it was announced that he had won the 2024 presidential election at approximately 5:30 a.m. locally.

It takes 270 electoral votes to win the presidency and Trump has currently gained 295 to Harris’ 226, with some states still yet to declare their final counts.

Trump, for the first time in more than 130 years and just the second president ever, managed to secure a second term that was not immediately followed by his initial term.

2021 saw him vacate his position due to accusations of inciting a riot at the U.S. Capitol building, and he was found guilty this year for numerous instances of business fraud.

Following his victory, Natalie proposed that Anthony Albanese should possibly issue an apology towards Donald Trump, as video evidence surfaced showing him expressing fear at the sight of the politician.

Back in 2017, while serving as the Shadow Transport and Infrastructure Minister in Australia, I made some insightful remarks about the importance of strategic infrastructure development in our country. Interestingly, these comments have recently re-emerged into the spotlight, as we eagerly anticipate the outcome of the U.S. elections. As a lifestyle expert, I believe that investing in and prioritizing infrastructure is crucial for any nation’s growth and prosperity.

On Thursday morning, Natalie addressed Foreign Minister Penny Wong and enquired if the Prime Minister had personally phoned to offer congratulations to the newly elected President.

Inquiring about a potential conversation, I might put it like this: “I wonder if he would ever express something along the lines of ‘I sincerely apologize, Donald, for those statements years back when I admitted feeling frightened by you?’

Senator Wong stated that the Prime Minister intends to focus more on strengthening Australia’s strategic alliance with the United States, instead of addressing his personal remarks.

He mentioned that it seems likely they will prioritize matters crucial to Australia’s well-being, including the AUKUS partnership, and it has been gratifying to observe bipartisan agreement on this point.

The AUKUS agreement represents a three-hundred-and-sixty-eight-billion-dollar defense partnership among Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. This partnership will provide Australia with a series of nuclear-powered submarines by the year 2040.

Normally, Natalie works alongside Matt Shirvington on Sunrise, however, she’s been missing from the studio because she’s been reporting from the U.S. instead.

As a devoted admirer, I found myself pondering about potential changes in Natalie’s career path when her absence from Sunrise was prolonged, hinting at the possibility of her imminent departure.

Spectators expressed their approval for temporary host Monique Wright, commending her performance and suggesting that she could effectively take over should Natalie decide to depart.

One enthusiastic fan on Media Spy exclaimed, “Monique is simply outstanding! It’s wonderful to see she’s being featured more frequently on the weekday program now.

‘Could she be next [to become host] and Nat be retiring soon?’ someone asked.

One person mentioned that they believe the future successor might take on a more youthful profile, similar to Sarah Greenhalgh or Teegan Dolling, in due time.

However, one dedicated Sunrise enthusiast dismissed the rumours as they didn’t appear convinced.

‘I don’t see Nat retiring soon,’ they insisted.

Sunrise is consistently strengthening its backup team, ensuring that their presenters can seamlessly enter and exit the scene without any hiccups.

As a devoted admirer, I can confidently say that Mon shines brightly, but when it comes to her personal well-being, I believe she finds solace and joy on the weekends. She seems to thrive best when stepping into roles as they come up rather than having a fixed schedule.

Since 2021, Natalie has taken over as the main host on Sunrise, replacing Samantha Armytage who stepped down from her position.
