AlterNet: GOP senator suggests Trump's daughter-in-law take Marco Rubio's Senate seat

AlterNet - GOP senator suggests Trump’s daughter-in-law take Marco Rubio’s Senate seat

If Donald Trump appoints Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) to the role of secretary of state, one of his fellow Republican senators thinks the president-elect's daughter-in-law would be "a tremendous" replacement, Axios reported Tuesday.

Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) — who offered the GOP State of the Union rebuttal in February — told Axios the Republican National Committee co-chair "just got off a historic win."

The Alabama lawmaker added, "She understands the America First agenda. For me, I think she would be a tremendous pick, a voice for hard working families and another mom of school aged kids that understands what we're up against, and that's to fight to protect the American dream."

The Daily Beast noted, "Lara has not officially spoken about the public support. Yet as these things typically go, no one who wants it says that they want it."

TIME reported in July:

The upshot is that Lara Trump is potentially going places in MAGA World. As an articulate Trump defender and one of his most prominent surrogates, she would have a long list of options should her father-in-law reclaim the White House, ranging from a senior role in a second Trump term to elected office. 'If we win,' says Charlie Kirk, the right-wing firebrand, 'she'll definitely be one of the most sought after and respected people in the conservative movement.'
