Contents

Early life

Harp is from a conservative Christian family in California. [1] Her father is an estate agent who founded a marketing and branding consultancy for travel companies and was the head of an "office of innovation" at a private Christian university. [2]

From 2009 to 2012, Harp studied at Point Loma Nazarene University, a Christian liberal arts college in San Diego. [3] In 2015, she graduated with a MBA from Liberty University, an evangelical college in Virginia. [2]

Career

In 2019, Harp said in an interview with Fox News that a 2018 "Right to Try" law enacted by then-President Donald Trump had saved her from dying of cancer. [1] [2] Harp later joined Trump's 2020 presidential campaign. She delivered a speech at that year's Republican National Convention, where she compared Trump to George Bailey from It's a Wonderful Life, [1] [2] claiming that "Without you, I'd have died waiting for [experimental drugs] to be approved". [2] Harp's claims were called into question by former Food and Drug Administration (FDA) official Peter Lurie and Simon Fraser University professor of health sciences Jeremy Snyder. [4] [2] Snyder noted that Harp had been given "an FDA-approved immunotherapy drug for an unapproved use", which had been allowed prior to Right to Try. [5] [2]

After 2020, Harp became an anchor for One America News Network, a far-right, pro-Trump cable channel known for its promotion of falsehoods and conspiracy theories. At the network, she promoted Trump's lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him. [1] She left the network in March 2022 to join Trump's communications team. [6] [7] The Washington Post reported that Harp "often accompanies Trump on his daily golf outings, riding the course in a golf cart equipped with a laptop and sometimes a printer to show him uplifting news articles, online posts or other materials." [8]

In 2023, Harp joined Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. [1] In 2024, The Bulwark reported, citing anonymous sources, that Harp was the staffer who had posted a video that included references to a "unified Reich" on Trump's Truth Social account. [1] [2] The post was deleted 15 hours later. [9]

Right-to-try laws are United States state laws and a federal law that were created with the intent of allowing terminally ill patients access to experimental therapies that have completed Phase I testing but have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Prior to the passage of right to try laws, patients needed FDA approval to use experimental drugs. As of 2018, 41 U.S. states had passed right to try laws. The framers of these laws argue that this allows for individualized treatments that are not permitted under the FDA's current regulatory scheme. The value of these laws was questioned on multiple grounds, including the fact that pharmaceutical manufacturers would have no obligation to provide the therapies being sought. A federal right to try law was passed in May 2018. Very little data is available about the number of patients who have used the right-to-try pathway, but available sources indicate that since the signing of the bill only a handful of patients have used this pathway to access experimental therapies, as most physicians and sponsors prefer the more traditional, FDA approved, Expanded Access route. According to Scott Gottlieb, who served as commissioner of the FDA under President Donald Trump, the FDA had already approved 99% of patient requests for access to experimental drugs, either immediately over the phone or within a few days, prior to the passage of right to try legislation.

Misinformation related to the COVID-19 pandemic has been propagated by various public figures, including officials of the United States government. The Trump administration in particular made a large number of misleading statements about the pandemic. A Cornell University study found that former U.S. President Donald Trump was "likely the largest driver" of the COVID-19 misinformation infodemic in English-language media, downplaying the virus and promoting unapproved drugs. Others have also been accused of spreading misinformation, including U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, backing conspiracy theories regarding the origin of the virus, U.S. senators and New York City mayor Bill de Blasio, who downplayed the virus.
