Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, announced Saturday that she will not be replacing Sen. Marco Rubio in the United States Senate.
“After an incredible amount of thought, contemplation, and encouragement from so many, I have decided to remove my name from consideration for the United States Senate,” Trump wrote in a Saturday post on X.
“I could not have been more honored to serve as RNC co-chair during the most high-stakes election of our lifetime and I’m truly humbled by the unbelievable support shown to me by the people of our country, and here in the great state of Florida,” she added.
Earlier this year, Trump nominated Rubio to serve as secretary of state in his administration.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) will choose Rubio’s replacement, who will serve until 2026, when a special election would be held to serve the remaining two years of the term.
