President Trump has persuaded several Fox News hosts to leave the network and play a major role in his administration.
Trump is currently on the network.
Lara Trump, Trump's daughter-in-law and former Republican co-chairman, launched a new weekend show at Fox News on February 22, announcing it on Wednesday.
The President and his children are frequent guests of Fox News. However, there is no precedent for the relatives of the president sitting relatives to host famous shows on major television news channels.
“My Views with Lala Trump” is expected to air Saturday in the East at 9pm, with analysis, interviews and influential figures. The network describes a show that focuses on “the return of common sense to every corner of American life,” reflecting the term “common sense,” which is the frequent development of the Trump administration. .
Trump, 42, who is married to the president's son Eric, is no stranger to a television studio. She worked as a producer for “Inside Edition” for several years and was an on-air contributor for Fox News from March 2021 to December 2022.
“Lara was a complete expert and natural when she was with us many years ago,” Suzanne Scott, CEO of Fox News Media, said in a message on Wednesday in The New York I told the Times. “She is a very talented and powerful and effective communicator with great potential as a host.”
Last year, Trump was elected as co-chair of the Republican National Committee in facilitating his father-in-law. She helped oversee the party's finances, election management, and treaty nominations in Milwaukee. She resigned from this role last month.
Trump told reporters in December that he would “really consider” his pursuit of a Florida Senate seat, which is now vacant by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. But by January, she had discussed her formal role in the network with Scott.
The president's descendants have worked for television news networks in the past, but their father (or, in Trump's case, his stepfather) was not running the country.
Jenna Bush Hager joined NBC's “Today” in 2009, a few months after her father, George W. Bush, completed her second term. She is now a staple of NBC morning programming. Chelsea Clinton worked for NBC News from 2011 to 2014 after her father was president, but her mother, Hillary Clinton, served as Secretary of State. Chelsea Clinton was a special correspondent focusing on stories of human interest.
Trump is rejoining Fox News as the network reaches a new level of valuation advantage. Since Election Day, Fox News has made 636 most watched television broadcasts on all cable news. Last month, the network recorded its highest rating in January since its inception in 1996.
The president occasionally lamented Fox News' reports, and he and the network experienced an ice period between late 2022 and early 2023, including four months of stretching. Election – did not appear in a single broadcast.
Trump and Fox's relationship is currently on a very solid ground. Network-controlling media mogul Rupert Murdoch attended Trump's inauguration and spent Monday in an oval office with the president. Pete Hegses and Sean Duffy ended their OnAir Fox positions in the fall and became Trump's defense and transport secretaries.
Growing up in Wilmington, North Carolina, Trump married Eric Trump in 2014. She frequently spoke to the Times in July with her stepfather, mainly about political issues and sometimes music. (Trump is an amateur singer.) Last year, while co-chairing the Republican Party, she pledged “four years of burnt earth when Donald Trump takes the White House.”
Brian Kilmeade, a current resident of Fox News at 9pm Saturday, will move his show to Sunday at 10pm
