Fox News has inked a deal with Lara Trump, a former co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC) and daughter-in-law to President Trump, to host a show on the channel.
The new show dubbed “My View with Lara Trump” will premier Feb. 22 and air Saturday evenings at 9 p.m., the cable channel said.
Lara Trump’s show will replace longtime anchor Brian Kilmeade’s weekend program, which will be moved to Sundays from 10 to 11 p.m.
Trump, who is married to the president’s son Eric, was previously a contributor at Fox, the top-watched cable channel, before she was selected to serve as co-chair of the RNC.
She stepped down from that position in December amid speculation she was in consideration to replace former Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) in the upper chamber.
“A gifted communicator who knows how to connect to the viewers, successful entrepreneur and working mother, Lara’s innate understanding of the American public and today’s political landscape will be a compelling addition to our weekend lineup,” said Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott in announcing her hiring.
Trump, in a statement of her own, said she was “thrilled to bring my voice back to Fox News, talk directly with the American people, and highlight what makes this country so great.”
