Lara Trump Steps Down From RNC, Would Be 'honored' To Be Florida's Next Senator

Here are key facts regarding Lara Trump stepping down from the RNC and her potential interest in becoming a Florida Senator:

Lara Trump announced on December 8, 2024, that she would be stepping down as co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC). She stated that the job she came to do was now complete, having achieved her set goals which included surpassing fundraising records, building an army of lawyers and poll watchers for election integrity, and turning out millions of voters during early voting.

She indicated that with the "big win" of the election, she felt her time at the RNC was fulfilled. She mentioned that she had accomplished what she intended to do.

Lara Trump has expressed interest in potentially becoming Florida's next senator. She told the Associated Press that she would "100% consider" the position if it became available, specifically in the context of replacing Marco Rubio, who was nominated by Donald Trump to be the next Secretary of State. If Rubio's nomination is confirmed, the seat would be open, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis would appoint the replacement until 2026.

There has been public speculation and support for her to take this role, with figures like Maye Musk, mother of Elon Musk, advocating for her on social media. Elon Musk himself has responded positively to this suggestion.

Lara Trump has been politically active, particularly in her father-in-law's presidential campaigns. She was elected as RNC co-chair in March 2024, where she played a key role in the Republicans regaining control of the White House and the Senate while holding a narrow House majority.

Her potential move to the Senate could shape Republican politics, considering her elevated profile and her ties to the incoming president, Donald Trump.

These facts are drawn from recent news coverage and statements made by Lara Trump herself.
