Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of US President-elect Donald Trump, has withdrawn her name from consideration for a Senate seat.
This month she resigned as co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), fueling speculation that she could replace outgoing Sen. Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican, whom Trump has nominated for secretary of state.
But in a post on X, he said he had withdrawn from consideration “after an incredible amount of thought, contemplation and encouragement from many.”
He said he wished Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis luck in choosing a replacement to fill out the remainder of Rubio’s six-year term, which ends in 2026.
