Who is Natalie Harp, Trump's right-hand woman?
One of Trump's longest serving and most loyal aides, Harp was thrust again into the spotlight when Democrat Jon Ossoff noted her closeness to the president.
Natalie Harp has emerged as a prominent figure in President Donald Trump's inner circle, serving as his executive assistant with responsibilities spanning logistics, communications, and secretarial duties. The 35-year-old California native, raised in a conservative Christian family, attributed her survival from bone cancer to Trump's advocacy for the Right to Try Act, which provided her access to experimental treatments.
Harp gained prominence in Trump's Maga wing of the Republican party, becoming a prominent election denier after his loss in the 2020 election. She joined Trump's 2024 re-election campaign and is known for her close proximity to the president, often seen in the Oval Office or boarding Air Force One. Her role, typically labeled a lower-tier position, has granted her significant influence over the information and updates Trump receives.
Described as a "gatekeeper" and "comfort blanket," Harp has become a fixture in Trump's White House, with rumors suggesting she even drafts posts for his Truth Social account.
