Fox News Channel Announces Lara Trump to Host New Show
In a surprising announcement, Fox News Channel revealed that Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of President Trump, will be hosting her own program on the network. The show, titled “My View with Lara Trump,” is set to air on Saturday evenings at 9 p.m. starting on Feb. 22.
Lara Trump expressed her excitement about the opportunity, stating, “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. 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.”
Fox News President Suzanne Scott praised Lara Trump, calling her a gifted communicator who knows how to connect with viewers. She described Lara as a successful entrepreneur and working mother, highlighting her innate understanding of the American public and the current political landscape.
As part of the reshuffle, Fox News will be moving the show “One Nation with Brian Kilmeade” to Sundays at 10 p.m. to accommodate Lara Trump’s new program. Fox News has shared that “My View” will focus on bringing common sense back to American life as the country enters a new era of practicality. The show will feature big picture analysis, interviews with thought leaders, and discussions on trending topics affecting families nationwide.
While it may seem unusual for a close relative of a sitting President to host a cable news show, there is a precedent for news outlets hiring high-profile politicians’ relatives for on-air roles. Jenna Bush Hager, daughter of former President George W. Bush, is a prominent host on NBC’s Today show. Similarly, Chelsea Clinton, daughter of former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, had a deal with NBC while her mother was in office.
Other notable examples include Meghan McCain, daughter of former Senator John McCain, who co-hosted ABC’s “The View,” alongside Abby Huntsman, daughter of former Governor Jon Huntsman. MSNBC also features Alicia Menendez, daughter of former Senator Robert Menendez, as one of its hosts.
In conclusion, Lara Trump’s new show on Fox News Channel marks a significant addition to the network’s lineup, with an emphasis on providing insightful commentary and thought-provoking discussions for viewers across the country.
