Lara Trump Steps Down from RNC, Admits Interest in Florida Senate Seat

Earlier today, the Associated Press reported that Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of President-Elect Donald Trump, has resigned as co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC) to pursue new opportunities, including the possibility of filling the U.S. Senate seat that Senator Marco Rubio may vacate if he is confirmed as US Secretary of State.

On social media, Lara Trump made the news official by posting the following statement:

“Serving as the RNC co-chair throughout the course of the most consequential election in American history has truly been the honor of my life.

At the RNC, we had three distinct goals:

1) surpass all fundraising records

2) build the largest army of lawyers and poll watchers to ensure election integrity

and, 3) turn out millions of Americans and low propensity voters during early voting.

We accomplished all three.

The job I came to do is now complete and I intend to formally step down from the RNC at our next meeting.

Thank you to our incredible team at the RNC, our amazing Chairman Michael Whatley, and, of course, thank you to President Donald Trump — we are so proud of you and I’m grateful you trusted me in this position.”

Lara Trump, married to Eric Trump, expressed serious interest in the Senate role, stating, “It is something I would seriously consider.”

During her tenure as RNC co-chair, which began in March, she contributed to the Republican Party’s successes, including regaining the White House and securing control of the Senate. She believes she has accomplished her objectives in this role.

Support for her potential Senate run has come from figures like Maye Musk, who stated, “The Senate is an old man’s club. We desperately need a smart, young, outspoken woman.”

Elon Musk also praised her, calling her “genuinely great.”

Looking ahead, Lara Trump expects a different approach in the upcoming administration, noting that no family members are anticipated to hold official positions in the White House this time. She emphasized President-elect Trump’s focus on effective governance during his term.
