Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

Even though there are a lot of children of political figures who are active on social media, Kari Lake's daughter Ruby Halperin isn't one of them. She has a Facebook account, but it's private. However, her LinkedIn account states that she still lives in Phoenix, Arizona, and that she has worked as an Executive Assistant for Turning Point USA since October 2021. Before then she attended Xavier College Prep in Phoenix and was a star athlete on the varsity track and field team. Unfortunately, the pandemic back in 2020 curbed Halperin's dreams of being a professional athlete. Kari shared during a campaign stop in Nevada, "My daughter said to me, 'I think I could have been a good track runner. I really think I could have done well, Mom. But Covid just ended athletics.'"

Ruby might be young, but she's not afraid to voice her opinions and even her doubts with her mother. While on John Solomon's "Just The News" podcast, Kari said that it was her daughter Ruby who urged her to release the recording of former Arizona Republican Chairman Jeff DeWit offering her money to quit the political world. Kari said, "If we can't be ethical, honest, pro-America Republicans, then I don't think you should be in charge of the party."
