Natalie Harp, a 35‑year‑old special assistant to former President Donald Trump, has attracted attention after a Democratic senator questioned the president’s focus during a campaign speech. Senator Jon Ossoff said that Trump wanted to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie instead of doing his job, prompting a response from the White House and renewed speculation about Harp’s relationship with the president. Harp earned a bachelor’s degree from Point Loma Nazarene University in 2012 and an MBA from Liberty University in 2015, then worked at One America News Network before joining Trump’s 2020 re‑election campaign. She was later appointed as a special assistant to the president and executive assistant to the president, with an annual salary of $150,000. Colleagues have described her role as providing printed information, a function that earned her the nickname human printer. At the 2020 Republican National Convention, Harp spoke in praise of Trump, noting her experience with Stage 2 cancer and crediting Trump’s support for the Right to Try Act, which she said helped her access experimental treatments. A 2024 New York Times report noted that she followed Trump with a portable printer during the campaign. The White House, through its Rapid Response team, rebuked a CNN reporter who asked about Ossoff’s comments, posting a statement that the question was disgusting and inhumane. The administration’s reaction intensified media coverage and led to further inquiries about Harp’s position and influence within the White House. Preston Harp, Natalie’s brother, has said that she views Trump as a father figure, while political commentator Kurt Bardella suggested the White House response reflected a proportional effort to address the speculation.
