Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of President Donald Trump and former co-chair of the Republican National Committee, is joining Fox News to host a new weekend show.
Trump's show, My View with Lara Trump, will air on Saturdays at 9 p.m. ET starting on Feb. 22.

Lara Trump, who is the wife of Eric Trump, had previously been a paid contributor for Fox News, but left in 2022 after Donald Trump launched his presidential campaign. She also has hosted a web series, The Right View, since 2020.
Suzanne Scott, CEO of Fox News Media, said in a statement, '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.'
Trump's new assignment is the latest example of a revolving door between the network and Trump's team, albeit that has occurred in previous administrations as well. Pete Hegseth, the new secretary of defense, formerly was a co-host of Fox & Friends Weekend, a role for which he made about $4.6 million in the past two years, according to financial disclosure reports. Another Fox personality, Sean Duffy, also left the network to become the secretary of transportation. Tulsi Gabbard, whose nomination to be the next director of national intelligence cleared a key committee on Tuesday, was a contributor for the network.
During Joe Biden's administration, Jen Psaki left her role as White House press secretary and became an MSNBC host. Symone Sanders joined the network after she was chief spokesperson for Vice President Kamala Harris.
Lara Trump also is not the first presidential relative to get a hosting gig from a major network. Jenna Bush Hager, the daughter of George W. Bush, hosts the fourth hour of NBC's Today, while Chelsea Clinton, daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton, was a special correspondent for NBC. Hager and Clinton took those roles after their fathers left office.
My View with Lara Trump seems likely to present Trump's presidency in a positive light. Fox News said that the show will 'focus on the return of common sense to all corners of American life as the country ushers in a new era of practicality.' In her statement, Lara Trump borrowed a term from her father-in-law's inaugural address, saying, 'I'm thrilled to bring my voice back to Fox News, talk directly with the American people, and highlight what makes this country so great. As I cover the success of The Golden Age of America, I look forward to where this time will lead our country and where this opportunity will lead me in the future.'
Her show will replace One Nation with Brian Kilmeade, which will be moved to Sunday at 10 p.m.
The New York Times first reported on Trump's new show.

Trump suggests terminating Musk's US government contracts, subsidies
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump suggested on Thursday that he may terminate U.S. government contracts and subsidies given to Elon Musk's companies, as the public feud between the two men escalates over a tax and spending bill. "The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts," Trump said in a Truth Social post.

Junk Fees, Airport Security, No Tax on Tips: 7 Travel Bills in Congress We're Tracking
Although travel isn't at the top of Congress' agenda, lawmakers in Washington are discussing several bills that would impact the industry. Travel and tourism isn't at the top of Congress' agenda, which this month is dominated by debate over the President Donald Trump-backed 'big, beautiful' tax and spending bill. But that doesn't mean that lawmakers aren't attempting to make laws that would directly affect the hotel, lodging, air travel, and cruise industries. Here are seven such federal bills to watch heading into the summer: 1: Hotel Fees Transparency Act of 2025 Introduced by Rep. Young Kim (R-Calif.), this bipartisan bill targets 'unfair and deceptive advertising of prices for hotel rooms and other places of short-term lodging.' Bill co-sponsors include Reps. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.), Russell Fry (R-S.C.), Kevin Mullin (D-Calif.), Craig Goldman (R-Texas), Eugene Vindman (D-Va.) and André Carson (D-Ind.). The bill mandates that hotels and short-term rental providers must: Display the 'total services price, if a price is displayed, in any advertisement, marketing, or price list wherever the covered services are displayed, advertised, marketed, or offered for sale.' Disclose 'the total services price at the time the covered services are first displayed to [an] individual and anytime thereafter throughout the covered services purchasing process.' Disclose before a final purchase 'any tax, fee, or assessment imposed by any government entity, quasi-government entity, or government-created special district or program on the sale of covered services.' The bill passed the U.S. House on a voice vote in April. The U.S. Senate is now considering the measure. There, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) has introduced a Senate version of the Hotel Fees and Transparency Act of 2025, which is co-sponsored by Sens. Jerry Moran (R-Kansas), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) and Shelley Moo

ICE breaks arrest record two days in a row under Trump's new immigration directives
Immigration and Customs Enforcement made a record-setting 2,368 arrests of illegal aliens in a single day on Wednesday, a senior ICE official told Fox News. This broke the record from just one day prior, as there were 2,267 ICE arrests on Tuesday. The increase comes after an average of roughly 1,600 arrests last week, as the White House pursues a goal of 3,000 arrests daily. "Under President Trump's leadership, we are looking to set a goal of a minimum of 3,000 arrests for ICE every day," White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller told "Hannity" on at the end of May, indicting that the goal could go even higher. Homan also previously said "The numbers are good, but I'm not satisfied. I haven't been satisfied all year long," in an "America's Newsroom" interview in May. The uptick in arrests can be attributed to a surge in worksite enforcement and immigration court arrests. In addition, ICE is using collateral, like arresting individuals who are not initial targets but are with a target at the time of an arrest. ICE sources tell Fox News if the reconciliation bill passes with funding for 10,000 additional ICE personnel and tens of thousands more ICE beds, numbers will be "supercharged and shoot through the roof." As a debate about the bill continues in the Senate, the White House reaffirmed the bill's border and immigration-related provisions on Thursday. "Did you know The Big Beautiful Bill doubles ICE detention capacity, increases ICE personnel by 50%, finishes the border wall, and taxes money illegals send to their home country?" Deputy Assistant to the President and Principal Deputy Communications Director Alex Pfeiffer posted to X. "It's a once-in-a generation opportunity to crack down on illegal immigration," he continued. The ICE arrests come amid widespread policy changes by the Trump administration from the Biden-era. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem approved more waivers for border wall construction in Arizona and New Mexico this week, and the president instituted a travel ban on several countries following the anti-Semitic Boulder terrorist attack, in which the suspect overstayed his visa.
