Trump, 80, Thirsts Over His ‘Fit’ Daughter-in-Law

Jonathan Drake / REUTERS President Donald Trump paused his North Carolina rally on Tuesday night to gush over just how fit his daughter-in-law is.

Trump, 80, was in Greenville, North Carolina, to campaign for his handpicked Republican nominee for the U.S.

Senate in North Carolina’s 2026 midterm election, Michael Whatley.

Whatley is running against Democratic former Gov.

Roy Cooper, 69.

An Elon University poll released Tuesday put Cooper ahead 52 percent to 39 percent among likely voters.

Earlier this month, the GOP’s top Senate super PAC halted its ad spending in the state after pouring more than $30 million into the race, Semafor reported.

At Tuesday’s rally, while Trump was touting praise for Whatley, 58, when the president turned to daughter-in-law Lara Trump.

Lara and Whatley ran the Republican National Committee together from March 2024 until she stepped down as co-chair that December.

When North Carolina’s Senate seat opened up last year, she weighed a run herself, but opted out.

Instead, Trump settled on Whatley.

“He [Whatley] was with a person named Lara Trump.

Have you ever heard of her?” Trump asked the crowd.

Trump, however, then took a sharp diversion, talking about his 44-year-old daughter-in-law’s physique.
