Who Is Natalie Harp? Ossoff Ignites Personal Feud over Trump’s Aide
The Georgia senator’s attack on a little-known Trump aide drew a sharp White House response as outside groups prepare millions in spending.
- On Sunday in Atlanta, Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff criticized President Donald Trump at a campaign rally, questioning whether the president wants to serve as commander-in-chief while invoking his close aide Natalie Harp.
- Harp, who has served as the president's personal assistant since 2022, has emerged as an informational gatekeeper accompanying Trump on private trips, including a secret flight out of Turkey last month amid Iranian threats.
- Trump compared Ossoff to 'Pee-wee Herman' on Monday in an Oval Office interview with CNN's Kristen Holmes, pivoting to discuss his East Wing construction project rather than addressing the criticism directly.
- White House communications director Steven Cheung and spokesman Davis Ingle escalated the feud, calling Ossoff a 'cringeworthy, feminine theatre kid' and 'lightweight loser' in social media posts following the rally.
- The feud threatens to reverberate into Georgia's critical midterm race between Ossoff and Republican challenger Rep. Mike Collins, though strategists believe the contest will tighten in coming months despite Ossoff's current polling lead.
