In November 2015, she relocated to Texas and began a new show with TheBlaze.

In the Republican Party presidential primary in January 2016, Lahren endorsed Marco Rubio. Lahren appeared on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah for a 26-minute interview on November 30.

On March 17, 2017, Lahren appeared as a guest on The View, saying that women should have access to abortion and that she would be a hypocrite if she supported “limited government as well as government restrictions on abortion.” Glenn Beck, the owner of TheBlaze and an anti-abortion activist, chastised Lahren for her comments and suspended her without pay, prompting Lahren to file a wrongful termination suit. The lawsuit was settled through an agreement in which Lahren kept her Facebook page but deleted videos she created with TheBlaze.
Lahren started working in communications at Great America Alliance in May 2017, an offshoot of Great America PAC, a large pro-Donald Trump super PAC chaired by Newt Gingrich and Rudy Giuliani.
