PALM BEACH, Fla. — Lara Trump has resigned from her position with the Republican National Committee, fueling speculation that she may be considering a run for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Marco Rubio in Florida.
The resignation comes amid widespread rumors that Trump, daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump, is positioning herself for a move into elected office. Marco Rubio, who has served in the Senate since 2011, has not announced plans to step down, but sources close to the matter have suggested he may not seek re-election.
Trump’s appointment could literally send the Democrat caucus on Capitol Hill into a frenzy.
Political insiders have noted Lara Trump’s active presence in Florida’s Republican circles, particularly in fundraising and grassroots campaigns, as evidence of her interest in pursuing higher office. The Trump family’s influence in Florida remains significant, and a Senate bid by Lara Trump could reshape the state’s political landscape.
Trump would be appointed to fill Rubio’s seat until the next election in 2028.
Elon Musk, has endorsed Lara Trump’s appointment.
