She rose to fame by crediting Trump with saving her life.In his first term, Trump got the Right to Try Act passed to give some patients greater access to experimental treatments, which Harp used for her bone cancer. She quickly gained prominence and popularity in Trump's Maga (Make America Great Again) wing of the Republican Party talking about the experience, and soon after joined an advisory board for Trump's 2020 re-election campaign."When I failed the chemotherapies that were on the market, no one wanted me in their clinical trials," she said at the 2020 Republican National Convention. "They didn't give me the right to try experimental treatments, Mr President. You did, and without you, I'd have died waiting for them to be approved."After the event, Trump said: "She lit up the television screen like very few people I have ever seen do it."Following Trump's loss in that election, Harp found work hosting a show at the conservative One America News Network, or OAN.There, she became known as a ferocious Trump defender and prominent election denier. She left the network in 2022 to join Trump's next presidential campaign.Most accounts of Trump's views of Harp come via anonymous second-hand sources in books by reporters such as Maggie Haberman, Jonathan Swan or Michael Wolff, and very little is publicly known about her private life.Now, Harp's official title at the White House is executive assistant to the president, which typically denotes a lower tier position that entails managing logistics, scheduling, communications flow and mundane - but vital - secretarial work.
