In a recent development, Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of President-elect Donald Trump, has declared her withdrawal from the consideration for the Senate seat previously held by Marco Rubio. Her announcement follows a significant role as co-chairwoman of the Republican National Committee (RNC), a position she resigned from earlier this month. The speculation began when Rubio was nominated as the Secretary of State, prompting discussions around potential replacements.
In her post on X, Lara Trump expressed her gratitude for the support she received, stating she made the decision "after an incredible amount of thought, contemplation, and encouragement from so many."
