Lara Trump Resigns RNC Role Amid Buzz of Potential Senate Run
Lara Trump, the dynamic daughter-in-law of President-elect Donald Trump, has officially stepped down as co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), sparking intense speculation about her next political move — potentially filling a Senate vacancy in Florida.
In a bold announcement shared on social media, Lara declared, “The job I came to do is now complete,” pointing to the RNC’s impressive wins in fundraising and voter turnout during her tenure.
While her departure from the RNC marks the end of one chapter, all eyes are now on Florida, where political insiders believe Lara could be gearing up for a Senate bid. If true, it would mark a significant step forward in her already high-profile political career.
Stay tuned — the Trump family’s influence in American politics might just be warming up.
Lara Trump’s Next Move? A Senate Seat Could Be in the Cards
Lara Trump is keeping her cards close to her chest, but buzz is building around her potential move into the U.S. Senate. With Senator Marco Rubio rumored to be in line for Secretary of State under the new administration, some of Donald Trump’s closest allies are eyeing Lara to fill his Florida seat.
If Rubio ascends to a Cabinet role, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis would have the power to appoint someone to serve out the remainder of Rubio’s term, which runs through 2026. And Lara Trump has made it clear she’s not ruling out the possibility.
“It is something I would seriously consider,” she told the Associated Press. “If I’m being completely transparent, I don’t know exactly what that would look like.”
A Trump Family Power Play
Lara Trump’s swift rise in Republican politics has been nothing short of meteoric. Hand-picked by her father-in-law, Donald Trump, she took on the role of RNC co-chair in March—a move that underscored his firm grip on the GOP.
Alongside her husband Eric and brother-in-law Don Jr., she became one of Donald Trump’s most visible and vocal campaign surrogates during his White House bid.
In a heartfelt message posted on X (formerly Twitter), Lara reflected on her role during the election:
“Serving as the GOP co-chair throughout the course of the most consequential election in American history has truly been the honor of my life,” she wrote.
She didn’t forget to thank her father-in-law, adding: “We are so proud of you, and I’m grateful you trusted me in this position.”
Support Floods In
The idea of Lara Trump stepping into Rubio’s shoes has already garnered high-profile endorsements. Florida Senator Rick Scott has publicly backed her, while Maye Musk, the outspoken mother of Elon Musk, made her thoughts clear on X:
“The next senator for Florida should be [Lara Trump]. The Senate is an old man’s club. We desperately need a smart, young, outspoken woman who will reveal their secrets.”
Elon Musk himself chimed in with a simple but powerful endorsement: “Lara Trump is genuinely great.”
What’s Next for the Florida Senate Seat?
If Lara Trump were to be appointed, her sights would undoubtedly be set on the 2028 election, when the seat will be up for grabs again. For now, speculation continues to swirl, but one thing is certain: Lara Trump’s rise signals a potential changing of the guard within the Trump dynasty.
As she weighs her options, the prospect of a Trump family member in the Senate is yet another sign of the enduring political influence of America’s most polarizing dynasty. Could Lara Trump be the next powerhouse in Florida politics? Only time will tell.
