Key Background
Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., made Harp an attack line against Trump this week, accusing the president of surrounding himself with “sycophants” and aides who act as his “security blanket to make him feel good about himself.” Harp, 35, is a former One America News anchor who drew Trump’s attention in 2019 when she credited him with saving her life for signing legislation that allowed her to obtain experimental treatment for bone cancer. She then worked on his 2024 campaign and now works as a special assistant and executive assistant to the president. During the 2024 campaign, she was nicknamed “the human printer” because she carried a printer with her to print off materials that might interest Trump, reportedly alarming others in his inner circle because she often relied on conspiratorial sources. The Times reported in 2024 on some of Harp’s other letters to Trump, including notes that reportedly said, “you are all that matters to me.”
Chief Critic
Harp’s estranged brother, Preston Harp, told CNN on Tuesday that his sister is the president’s “biggest fan” and that she has had an “obsession” with presidents dating back to when she was a teenager. “She’s written letters to other presidents, let me put it that way. And so, like, her dream finally came true,” he said.
