RNC Co-Chair Lara Trump to step down amid speculation about Florida senate seat

December 9, 2024, 2:29 AM


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.

Eric? Bah.

There’s 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.

He's term limited, & is so devoid of charisma & likability that he'd probably never get elected, so that would be his way in.

Now that The McConnellstein Monster is backing the bus over lil’ Pete. It seems he has a problem with the bottle. (Never mind the assault and rape allegations, those were just boys-will-be-boys.)

Don’t say quid-pro-quo, though.
