Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of President-elect Donald Trump, has announced she will be stepping down from her current position while rumors swirl that she could end up being chosen by Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis to replace current Sen. Marco Rubio when he leaves to serve as Secretary of State within the Trump administration.
There’s no doubt she would be an excellent pick. Trump did a fantastic job as the co-chair of the RNC getting not only her father-in-law elected to the White House but helping to shape races all over America. She’s great at crafting messaging that resonates with people of all walks of life, which was demonstrated by the red wave that left the Democratic Party decimated this past election cycle.
Lara Trump, in an interview with the Associated Press said,” It is something I would seriously consider,” referring to serving in the Senate.
Here’s more on this developing story from Breitbart:
Trump was elected to lead the RNC alongside fellow chair Michael Whatley in March and has been unrelenting in her support of her father-in-law and now President-elect Donald Trump. Now she said she felt she’d accomplished her goals, adding Whatley will remain on as RNC chair. The AP report noted Trump and the RNC heavily invested in its resources ahead of the election and the GOP’s successes that night can be tied to its work.
“What that big win, I kind of feel like my time is up,” Trump said. “What I intended to do has been done.” Last month Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity she “would love to serve the people of Florida” and “would love to consider” filling the seat if asked.
Lara Trump also has some major supporters backing her as Rubio’s replacement. Maye Musk, mother of the real life Tony Stark, Elon Musk, is one of those individuals.
“The Senate is an old man’s club. We desperately need a smart, young, outspoken woman who will reveal their secrets,” she said in a post published on X. Her son was in agreement with her, referring to Trump as a great person.
With everything she’s already managed to accomplish for our country by serving as the co-chair of the RNC, I can only imagine the good work she’d do to help the president-elect enact his agenda. At the end of the day though, the person she needs to convince to give her a shot is Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. Let’s hope he considers it and give the president-elect’s daughter-in-law an opportunity to show what she’s made of.
