Natalie Harp and Donald Trump: A Timeline of Their Relationship
From a 2019 appearance alongside Trump to becoming one of the president's closest aides, here's how Natalie Harp's role evolved.
Natalie Harp emerged as one of President Donald Trump's most trusted aides after publicly crediting Trump and his Right to Try legislation for her cancer recovery. Diagnosed with bone cancer in her 20s, Harp became a vocal advocate for expanded access to experimental medicines. Her story gained national attention in 2019 when she appeared with Trump and claimed the president's Right to Try law saved her life.
This claim became central to her rise in political prominence. Harp's association with Trump expanded further as she became a regular presence at his events, even delivering a speech at the 2020 Republican National Convention. She joined One America News Network, a conservative television channel, and later transitioned to closer collaboration with Trump's administration.
Harp worked as a campaign surrogate and television host before becoming an executive assistant to the president. Despite some controversy regarding her clearance status, Harp remains one of Trump's most visible aides, frequently accompanying him on trips and carrying out tasks such as printing favorable news articles for him.
