With Donald Trump pursuing the White House for a third time, Fox News will not have a member of his family on the payroll
Donald Trump’s announced 2024 bid for the White House means a member of his family will no longer be getting a Fox News paycheck.
The network confirmed Saturday it has parted ways with Lara Trump, the former president’s daughter-in-law. Lara Trump, who is married to Trump’s son Eric, became a paid contributor for the conservative-leaning network last year. “We appreciate Lara’s valuable contributions across Fox News Media programming,” a Fox News Media representative said in a statement.Her exit is said to be amicable and based solely on company protocol, but it comes after Rupert Murdoch, executive chairman of Fox News parent Fox Corporation, made it clear that he does not support the former president’s decision to pursue the White House again.
Former White House officials and political operatives are usually welcomed as contributors at cable networks. But Fox News has made it a rule to not employ people running for office or directly connected to active campaigns. Fox News executives decided that Lara Trump, a surrogate for the former president, falls into that category. She has not appeared on the network since the week of Trump’s Nov. 15 announcement that he is running for president a third time.
