Savannah Chrisley Attends White House Meeting to Eye Political Seat After Parents’ Release

Savannah Chrisley has revealed politics may be in her future, but not right now. 

The self-proclaimed MAGA Barbie, 28, revealed that while lobbying the White House to pardon her parents, there were secret discussions about her helping to further President Donald Trump’s MAGA agenda. 

“I had a meeting at the White House about potentially taking over a House seat in Tennessee, and I just knew that right now wasn’t the time,’ she told People while promoting The Chrisleys: Back to Reality. 

‘I didn’t feel in my heart and soul that I could make the impact that I truly wanted to make because I just got my life back,’ she told the outlet. 

‘I’m rebuilding and figuring out who I am and what I want out of life.’ 

The reality star said she would continue to pursue other ways to give back. 

Savannah who spoke at the 2024 National Republican Convention said, ‘I feel like you can implement just as much change on the outside with a very large platform and voice than you can on the inside, so, who knows?’

The Nashville based realtor said other opportunities for elected office will likely come around soon. ‘Marsha Blackburn is going to run for governor [of Tennessee] and she will win,’ Savannah asserted. 

‘So, who knows what happens to that Senate seat? I just say, like this whole pardon process, everything happens for a reason. Every relationship you make, every hand you shake.’

Savannah’s parents Todd, 56, and Julie, 52, were sentenced to time behind bars after a jury unanimously voted to convict them on bank and tax fraud involving $30 million in fraudulent loans to support their lavish lifestyle. 

The influencer spoke about the moment she began considering a career in public office on the August 5 episode of her Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley podcast. 

She said the press conference she held the day Todd was released from prison, following his presidential pardon, gave her an idea of what it might be like to be a politician. 

‘There was, like, a 100 cars at least there, and people were just handing me their babies. Like, literally, I had, like, a naked baby in my arms,’ she said of the adoration she received from the crowd.

‘There was this little girl that kept wanting to hold my hand and stand with me. And I literally felt like Princess Diana in that moment.’

Savannah convinced President Donald Trump to pardon her parents, and even had discussions about furthering his agenda. ‘I had a meeting at the White House about potentially taking over a House seat in Tennessee , and I just knew that right now wasn’t the time,’ she told People

The reality star said she would continue to pursue other ways to give back. ‘I feel like you can implement just as much change on the outside with a very large platform and voice than you can on the inside, so, who knows?’

The reality star is considering her options. ‘Marsha Blackburn is going to run for governor [of Tennessee]… ‘So, who knows what happens to that Senate seat?’ she said;  Pictured in Washington DC in September 2022

‘When I was standing outside the prison doing that press conference and seeing all the people who came up to me and hugged me and spoke to me, it really made me take a step back and say, like, “Maybe my future’s gonna look different than what I had originally thought. Maybe I am gonna get involved in politics.”‘

Savannah says her parents’ experience has prompted her to lobby for prison reform. 

‘Now I see all the broken things in the system where individuals have to be rehabilitated, where we need mental health treatment for these individuals, as well as giving them job opportunities and advocating for them when it comes to that,’ she said in June on the ABC News Studios’ IMPACT x Nightline special The Chrisleys: Life After Lockup. 

The family’s new special,  The Chrisleys: Back to Reality will debut September 1 and 2 on Lifetime, with the third and final episode dropping on September 16.
