Lara Trump has officially withdrawn her candidacy for a Senate seat originally speculated to be vacated by Senator Marco Rubio, who has been nominated by Donald Trump for a key position in the upcoming administration.
This month, Lara Trump also stepped down as co-chairwoman of the Republican National Committee (RNC), leading to widespread speculation about her potential Senate run. In a recent announcement, she expressed her decision to remove herself from consideration after considerable reflection and encouragement from supporters.
Lara Trump extended her best wishes to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as he prepares to select a successor to fill Rubio’s vacancy for the remainder of his six-year term, which concludes in 2026.
In her statement, she conveyed her gratitude for the opportunity to serve as RNC co-chair during a critical election period, acknowledging the significant support she received from citizens across the nation and the state of Florida.
Additionally, Lara Trump hinted at an important announcement slated for January, although she did not provide specifics. Having been elected as RNC co-chair in March, she played a crucial role in amplifying her father-in-law’s influence during the election campaign, alongside her husband, Eric Trump, and brother-in-law, Don Jr., as prominent advocates for the Republican candidate.
