During his tenure at the network, Mr. Sherman has reported on countless major global news stories. For the past four years, he has covered both the Israel-Hamas conflict and the Russia-Ukraine war.

In 2025, he spent a month in Rome, Italy covering the death of Pope Francis and the subsequent papal conclave and election of the first American pope, Pope Leo XIV.

Additionally, he has flown aboard Air Force One as part of the White House press pool.
