Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of President-elect Donald Trump, announced her intention to resign as co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC). In a statement released Sunday evening, she expressed satisfaction with her achievements at the RNC, highlighting successful efforts in fundraising, ensuring election integrity, and boosting voter turnout.
In a recent interview with the Associated Press, Lara Trump revealed her openness to the possibility of pursuing a U.S. Senate seat. This opportunity may arise pending the confirmation of Marco Rubio, the current senator from Florida, as the new secretary of state—a position for which he has been nominated by President-elect Trump.
Lara Trump stated, "It is something I would seriously consider. If I’m being completely transparent, I don’t know exactly what that would look like. And I certainly want to get all of the information possible if that is something that’s real for me. But yeah, I would 100% consider it.”
Should Rubio be confirmed, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will be responsible for appointing a successor to complete Rubio's term, which is set to conclude in 2026.
