Her appearances in 2026 are fewer compared to previous years, with some absences possibly linked to security concerns, though no direct connection has been confirmed. Meanwhile, White House aide Natalie Harp has become a frequent presence alongside President Donald Trump, accompanying him on official trips and engagements.
