Fox News Channel has hired the president's daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, to be host of a new weekend show that will debut later this month, the AP reports. Trump was a contributor who made appearances on Fox in 2021 and 2022, after President Trump lost his bid for a second term, then served as co-chair of the Republican National Committee. Her hourlong show, My View with Lara Trump, will air at 9pm on Saturday nights, Fox announced on Wednesday. She's scheduled to start her show on Feb. 22. Fox said in its announcement that Trump's show "will focus on the return of common sense to all corners of American life as the country ushers in a new era of practicality."
Political relatives are no stranger to television, although this is believed to be the first time someone so closely related to a US president has been given such a prominent TV role while the politician is in office. Former President George W. Bush's daughter Jenna has been a longtime host on NBC's Today show. Chelsea Clinton also worked as a reporter for NBC News while her mother Hillary was secretary of state. Meghan McCain, daughter of the late Sen. John McCain, was a host on ABC's daytime talk show The View.
"I'm thrilled to bring my voice back to Fox News, talk directly with the American people, and highlight what makes this country so great," Lara Trump said in a statement released by Fox. "As I cover the success of the golden age of America, I look forward to where this time will lead our country and where this opportunity will lead me in the future."
