Trump aide Natalie Harp appears as unlikely contender for press secretary role

Natalie Harp, a 35-year-old aide who handles Donald Trump’s social-media postings and curates articles for his daily review, has emerged as a long-shot name for the vacant White House press secretary position. Kalshi’s prediction market assigns her a 5 percent likelihood of appointment, reflecting limited expectations among bettors. Harp’s relationship with the president is highlighted by a Secret Service flag as a possible security risk and her presence on a separate jet during Trump’s recent Air Force One evacuation from Turkey.

While her devotion to Trump is well documented in recent books, she has never engaged with reporters or maintained her own social-media presence. Sources cite Scott Jennings as the leading candidate, with Kalshi giving him a 29 percent chance, followed by Anna Kelly at 17 percent and former legal spokesperson Alina Habba at 16 percent. Other names in the mix include Liz Huston, Jason Miller, Lara Trump, Steven Cheung, Danielle Alvarez and Roma Daravi, all considered long-shots.
