Lara Trump’s next move is to join Fox News.
President Donald Trump‘s daughter-in-law is even starring in her own weekend show called My View with Lara Trump, the network announced in a release on Wednesday.
The 42-year-old mother-of-two was co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC) last year and helped deliver widespread wins for the GOP in the 2024 election.
After her husband Eric’s father won reelection in November, Lara stepped down from her post at the RNC. Soon after, she shut down rumors that she would seek to replace Sen. Marco Rubio and become a U.S. Senator in Florida.
Instead, she is taking a cushy 9:00 p.m. Saturday spot with the right-leaning network.
A source familiar with Fox’s negotiation practices told DailyMail.com they ‘wouldn’t be surprised’ if Lara’s contract is as much as $5 million for a two-year deal.
Additionally, they said it’s likely that the network worked with the president’s daughter-in-law to get a studio set up in Florida so she can stay at home for her show.
‘MAGA is cooler now,’ the source noted, claiming that it appears Fox has upped its budget to make ‘higher-than-usual’ offers for those within the president’s inner circle.
Lara Trump is getting her own Fox News show. It will air Saturday at 9:00 p.m.

President Trump was able to persuade some other Fox personalities – mainly Pete Hegseth and Sean Duffy – to join his administration. The former took a role as the Pentagon Secretary and latter is leading Trump’s Department of Transportation.
Lara’s new show will help re-round out the network’s team of high profile conservative hosts.
Her Saturday 9:00 p.m. show will begin airing on Fox News on February 22.
The current occupant of that time slot is Brian Kilmeade, whose show will be moved to Sundays at 10:00 p.m.
Lara married the president’s middle son in 2014 – just a year before Donald Trump first ran for office.
The couple share two children; Luke, 7, and Carolina, 5. The kiddos performed the Pledge of Allegiance at a Trump rally in Washington, D.C. the Sunday before inauguration last month.
After stepping down from the RNC last year, Lara focused on finally launching her fitness apparel line.
She spoke exclusively with DailyMail.com about the line, which features colorful ombre leggings and tank top sets, and discussed her inspiration for starting a fitness brand.

Additionally, the president’s daughter-in-law has released some music, both covers of hits and her own original songs.
Lara is no stranger to television production.
She worked as a producer on Inside Edition and as an on-air contributor for Fox from March 2021 through December 2022.
‘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 said in a statement on her new show.
‘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.’
