Fox News hires Donald Trump's daughter-in-law
Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, slated to run for senatorial seat in North Carolina, has been officially hired by Fox News as a columnist, the news channel reported on Monday.
38-year-old Lara Trump is the wife of Eric, the youngest son of Donald Trump, with whom she had two children.
A former fitness trainer and television producer, she was an advisor to Team Trump during the last presidential campaign.
Lara Trump has attended many campaign meetings, where she was sometimes the only one to speak out, generally more prominent than Ivanka Trump, daughter of the former president.
Since the election, his name has been circulating for the post of senator from North Carolina, which will become vacant in 2022.
In early March, Lara Trump, who is from North Carolina, confirmed on Fox News that she was considering running. Several Republican figures have already been announced in this campaign.
Former North Carolina House of Representatives, Mark Walker, has even officially applied for office.
During the on-air announcement of her arrival on Fox News, Lara Trump said she hoped to announce her decision about her political future "soon".
This is the first time that a member of the Trump clan has been officially hired by Fox News. She will not have a dedicated program and will be able to speak at any time as a columnist.
Before being hired, she was already a regular at the conservative editorial line, which most of the columnists supported Donald Trump.
After the election, Donald Trump called for a boycott of the channel for a while, unhappy with his coverage of election night. In recent weeks, he has spoken on the air several times.
