Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of President-elect Donald Trump whom he tapped to co-chair the Republican National Committee for the 2024 election cycle, said she intends to step down from her position.
The move comes amid mounting speculation that she could be tapped to fill an upcoming Senate vacancy in Florida, whose Sen. Marco Rubio has been nominated for secretary of state.
"The job I came to do is now complete and I intend to formally step down from the RNC at our next meeting," Lara Trump said in a post on X.
Should Rubio be confirmed as secretary of state in Trump's incoming administration, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis would need to choose a successor to serve out the rest of Rubio's term, which expires in 2026.

Theres no way any Trump can willingly give up a gravy boat. Perish the thought.
Fanciful thinking by the desiccated remains of the GrOPpers. Akin to dumping salt on a pithed frog.
The GOP will remain in the tiny inadequate grip of the iron fist of the grifter-in-chief.

Dont say quid-pro-quo, though.
