Lara Trump Resigns from RNC, Eyes Potential Senate Appointment

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is reportedly considering Lara Trump to fill Marco Rubio’s Senate seat if he becomes Secretary of State.

Lara Trump, co-chair of the Republican National Committee, has stepped down from her role, fueling speculation about her potential political ambitions.
Reports suggest that President-elect Donald Trump has spoken to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis about appointing Lara Trump to the Senate if Marco Rubio joins the Trump administration as Secretary of State.
Lara Trump has expressed interest in the appointment, stating she would seriously consider serving the remaining two years of Rubio’s Senate term.
DeSantis is vetting candidates for the potential vacancy, with other contenders including his Chief of Staff James Uthmeier and Attorney General Ashley Moody.
The decision on Rubio’s replacement is expected by early January unless DeSantis himself is named to a federal position, which could shift the responsibility to his successor.
