Jayme Leagh Franklin family: Meet Trump's glamorous ally's husband Drake Franklin and daughter Vivienne

Jayme Leagh Franklin, a prominent associate of Donald Trump, addressed speculation that she startled the President awake during a press conference on August 10. While signing an executive order to reduce universally recommended vaccines, Trump appeared to doze off for extended periods. Observers noted that Franklin, standing to his right, tapped her abdomen, causing the President to startle awake.

Franklin, a mother, political commentator, and former official in the Trump White House, explained on X that she was pregnant and dismissed conspiracy theories suggesting she had activated a button to wake him up. The reporter spoke to her about her family background; she is married to Drake Franklin, who is the Southeastern Development Director & Policy Analyst for American Values at AFPI.

Drake, originally from Gainesville, Georgia, has a background in conservative politics, including roles in the Trump Campaign, the Trump White House, and Fox News. He currently resides in Washington, DC, with his wife and their daughter, Vivienne.
