Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of President-elect Donald Trump, has announced that she has removed her name from consideration to replace outgoing U.S. Senator Marco Rubio. Rubio was chosen by Trump to serve as Secretary of State, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will pick a replacement for Rubio, who is expected to resign when Trump takes office on January 20. Lara Trump, who previously served as co-chair of the Republican National Committee, was speculated to succeed Rubio in the Senate, but she decided to withdraw after much thought and encouragement. She expressed gratitude for the support she received during her time at the RNC and hinted at a “big announcement” to be made in January. Lara Trump remains passionate about public service and looks forward to serving again in the future. DeSantis has indicated that a decision on Rubio’s replacement will likely be made by early January, with strong interest already from potential candidates.
