Lara Trump Considers Senate Appointment as Trump Family Influence Grows

President-elect Trump’s daughter-in-law steps down from RNC role and signals openness to filling Marco Rubio's Senate seat.

Lara Trump, Eric Trump's wife, has resigned as co-chair of the Republican National Committee, stating her role there is complete following the election.
She has expressed interest in being appointed to Florida Senator Marco Rubio's seat if Rubio is confirmed as Secretary of State in the upcoming Trump administration.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who would appoint Rubio's replacement, is reportedly evaluating multiple candidates, including Lara Trump, though no decision has been made.
Lara Trump noted her decision would depend on further discussions and information, emphasizing it would be an honor to serve in the Senate if selected.
The potential appointment is seen as a move to solidify the Trump family's political legacy, with Donald Trump highlighting Lara's competence and contributions to the Republican Party.
