In 1995, Henry graduated with a bachelor's degree in English from Siena College in Loudonville, New York. He began his career with Jack Anderson. In 2003, he began providing political analysis for the WMAL Morning News and The Chris Core Show, two local radio shows on WMAL, Washington, D.C.
He covered Capitol Hill for Roll Call for eight years, writing that newspaper’s Heard on the Hill column, and has been a contributing editor at Washingtonian. He was a 2011-12 member of the Siena College (his alma mater)'s Board of Associate Trustees.
Henry was the moderator of the CNN Inside Politics broadcast when Robert Novak stormed off the set, on August 4, 2005, during a live discussion with James Carville, about Florida Republican Representative Katherine Harris' just-announced 2006 bid for U.S. Senate. Henry carried on with just Carville for the remainder of the segment.
After covering the White House for CNN since March 2006, Henry was elevated to a senior position in December 2008. He was one of three CNN correspondents at the White House, along with Dan Lothian and Brianna Keilar; Henry was the sole senior correspondent. One notable moment early in the presidency of Barack Obama, occurred during a White House news conference in March 2009. He asked a pointed follow-up to a question that Obama had previously ignored, about the AIG bonus payments controversy.
