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 is a 35-year-old executive assistant to the president at the White House, a position she has held since joining the Trump administration. Born in California to a conservative Christian family, Harp's path to the White House was unconventional. She credits President Trump with saving her life when he passed the Right to Try Act, which allowed her access to experimental treatments for her bone cancer.
Following Trump's re-election in 2020, Harp gained prominence by joining an advisory board for his re-election campaign. She is described as a "gatekeeper" and "comfort blanket" for the president, often seen carrying a portable printer to provide Trump with hard copies of articles and social media posts. Harp has been thrust into the spotlight recently after Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff referred to her during a speech that has gone viral.
Ossoff was critical of Trump's frequent travel with Harp, referring to the president's plane as a "defenseless flying palace."
