Fox News Channel has announced the hiring of Lara Trump, the president’s daughter-in-law, as the host of a new weekend show titled “My View with Lara Trump.” Scheduled to debut later this month, the hour-long show will air on Saturday nights at 9 p.m. Lara Trump, a former contributor to Fox who also served as co-chair of the Republican National Committee, will focus on bringing back common sense to American life in a new era of practicality, as stated by Fox in their announcement.
While political relatives in television are not uncommon, Lara Trump’s prominent TV role as someone closely related to a U.S. president while the politician is in office is considered unique. Notable examples include Jenna Bush Hager on NBC’s “Today” show and Chelsea Clinton’s time as a reporter for NBC News during her mother Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state. Lara Trump expressed enthusiasm about returning to Fox News to engage directly with the American people and celebrate the successes of America’s golden age.
Interestingly, Lara Trump’s show will replace Brian Kilmeade’s show, which is moving to Sunday nights. Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott praised Lara Trump as a gifted communicator, successful entrepreneur, and working mother. As the former president’s son Eric Trump’s wife, Lara Trump has hinted at a potential Senate run in Florida in 2026. The details of how her show came together remain unclear, but this new addition to Fox’s lineup reflects the ongoing relationship between the network and the Trump family amidst the broader landscape of media and politics.
