Daughter of Stranded NASA Astronaut Butch Wilmore Claims Shocking Trump Connection

Daryn Wilmore, 19, has stood strong during her father Butch Wilmore’s nine-month ordeal in space, recently dispelling claims blaming President Trump for the delays. As they wait for his return, scheduled to splash down in the Atlantic at 5:57 PM ET, Daryn reflects on the emotional toll of her father’s extended mission.

After a Starliner malfunction left both Butch and Sunita Williams stranded, she emphasized, “It’s not Trump’s fault a rocket didn’t work.” Excitedly, she plans a warm reunion, complete with a pecan pie—her dad’s favorite. “The Lord has blessed us,” she added, sharing her mixed feelings about the political factors at play. Daryn and her sister Logan have stayed connected through daily calls, patiently counting down the moments until their dad is home.
