Lara Trump has left Fox News in the wake of her father-in-law Donald's announcement of a White House 2024 run thanks to a longstanding rule banning contributors from being linked to active campaigns.
After her father-in-law Donald Trump's announced his 2024 bid for the White House last month, it now rules her out from continuing to receiving a paycheck from the Republican-leaning news channel. Lara has effectively declared she'll be part of the latest Trump White House bid with her decision to step down.
'We appreciate Lara's valuable contributions across Fox News Media programming,' a Fox News Media representative said in a statement.
