Personal front on the road to 2028: senior Democratic senator attacked Trump and his close aide

Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff of Georgia attacked Donald Trump and his close aide Natalie Harp, saying Trump "doesn't want to do the work." Democrats view the closeness between Trump and Harp as a political vulnerability.

Senior Democratic Senator from Georgia, Jon Ossoff, has opened a personal front against Donald Trump and his close personal aide, Natalie Harp, in what appears to be preparation for the 2028 election campaign. Ossoff, who is running for a second term in the upcoming midterms, attacked Trump by saying he "doesn't want to do the work. He just wants to build his ballroom and travel." The attack refers to Harp, 35, who in recent months has become one of the closest and most influential figures in Trump's circle, even being called the "gatekeeper" of information reaching him. She accompanies him on trips to Mar-a-Lago and his New Jersey golf club, and was among the few allowed to join him on the backup plane during a security incident in Turkey last month, following an assassination threat from Iran. The article's analysis suggests that Democrats identify the unusual closeness between Trump and his aide as a political vulnerability, and it remains to be seen whether the fight will stay on social media or stir Trump's campaign coffers.
