Fox News is set to further solidify its connection to the Trump family with the launch of a new weekend program hosted by Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump. The network will officially announce the move on Wednesday, marking an unprecedented moment in cable news history. *My View with Lara Trump* is scheduled to debut on February 22 and will air every Saturday night at 9 p.m. ET. The show is described by Fox News as a mix of political analysis and interviews with key political figures, with a focus on “the return of common sense to all corners of American life,” a theme often emphasized by the Trump administration.  

 

The addition of Lara Trump to Fox News marks another chapter in the long-standing relationship between the conservative network and the Trump family. Nearly 20 former Fox News employees took positions within Donald Trump’s administration, further intertwining the media outlet with his political sphere. While political figures have transitioned to cable news roles before, having a close relative of a former president as a host is a notable first.  

 

The introduction of *My View with Lara Trump* comes with a scheduling shift. Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade, who previously occupied the Saturday night slot, will move his weekend program to Sundays at 10 p.m.  

 

Lara Trump, who is married to Eric Trump, has been no stranger to political ambitions. In December, she was considered a potential contender for Florida’s Senate seat following reports that Marco Rubio might vacate the position to take a role in a potential Trump administration. She later dismissed the idea, stating that she had “a big announcement” coming in January, which is now confirmed as her return to Fox News.  

 

This is not her first time working for the network. Following former President Joe Biden’s victory, she joined Fox News as an on-air contributor in March 2021, remaining with the channel until the end of 2022—coinciding with Donald Trump’s decision to launch his next presidential campaign. At the time, Trump lamented her departure, saying, “Fox News is a much different place now than it was just a short time ago, but the audience loved Lara, her insight and vision—and so does the Trump Family!”

 

Following her time at Fox News, Lara Trump explored other ventures, including hosting a right-wing podcast and briefly pursuing a singing career. More recently, she was encouraged by her father-in-law to run for a leadership role at the Republican National Committee, eventually serving as co-chair before stepping down after the presidential election.  

 

Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott expressed enthusiasm about Trump’s return to the network, saying, “Lara was a total professional and a natural when she was with us years ago. She is very talented and is a strong, effective communicator with great potential as a host.”  

 

With this new role, Lara Trump becomes one of the most prominent Trump family members in media, continuing the legacy of Fox News’ close relationship with the former president and his allies.
