Daughter-in-law of President-elect withdraws from contention for Florida seat
Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of President-elect Donald Trump, has announced her withdrawal from consideration for a Senate seat in Florida. This decision follows her recent resignation as co-chairwoman of the Republican National Committee (RNC) earlier this month, a role she held from March. Speculation regarding her candidacy arose after Trump nominated outgoing Senator Marco Rubio for Secretary of State.
Taking to X, Lara Trump conveyed her decision came after careful reflection and encouragement from many, stating, "I could not have been more honoured to serve as RNC co-chair during the most high-stakes election of our lifetime." She voiced her best wishes to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who will appoint a replacement to fill Rubio's term, which concludes in 2026.
She added a cryptic note about an upcoming announcement in January, without disclosing specifics. As a prominent surrogate during her father-in-law's presidential campaign, Lara Trump's involvement solidified Trump family influence within the RNC. Her withdrawal marks a pivotal moment as the dynamics of the Trump political legacy evolve.
