Natalie Harp's cancer survival story: What we know

Trump aide Natalie Harp first wrote about being diagnosed with a "rare" cancer in June 2019. At the time, she credited Trump's "right-to-try" law with saving her life.

In August 2026, rumors about Harp's health spread online, and one U.S. senator referenced her while mocking Trump. Conservative figures criticized Sen. Jon Ossoff's for mentioning her, citing her account of surviving cancer.

Some social media users questioned Harp's narrative, so reporter Emery Winter unpacked what we know about her story.
