Lara Trump announced that she decided to remove her name from consideration to be a senator in Florida, ending speculation about her interest in replacing Sen. Marco Rubio, who is being considered for the position of secretary of state. She teased a “big announcement” to come in January but reiterated her passion for public service. Lara Trump previously served as co-chair of the Republican National Convention and received overwhelming support for her potential Senate bid. If Rubio vacates his seat, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis plans to make a selection by the beginning of January. DeSantis emphasized the need for a Senator from Florida who aligns with President Trump’s policies and has a proven record of results. Lara Trump had expressed openness to serving in another capacity, hinting at the possibility of a Senate position. Her decision not to pursue the Senate seat leaves the position open for another candidate chosen by the governor.
