The 25-year-old has quickly achieved a high profile in the conservative movement following her graduation from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. 

She has more than 4 million Facebook followers, and she produces her own videos with commentary on politics and culture.

Lahren is best known for her time working at Glenn Beck’s The Blaze where she was suspended earlier this year after expressing her support for abortion on ABC’s The View.  

She sued Beck and The Blaze for wrongful termination. The lawsuit was settled in May.

Also in May, she accepted a position to work with Great America Alliance (GAA), a pro-Trump advocacy group.   

‘The liberal establishment and mainstream media continue to fight our President at every turn, so it’s critical for all Americans to step up and do all they can to advance the America First agenda,’ said Lahren in a statement announcing her hiring at GAA.

It’s unclear if she will keep her position at GAA since being hired with Fox.
