Former President Donald Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump, whom Trump made co-chair of the Republican National Committee, announced on Saturday she is no longer in consideration for the role of Senator in Florida.
Trump team members openly floated the idea of Ron DeSantis appointing Lara Trump to replace Marco Rubio as a Senator in Florida. Rubio was appointed to a Cabinet position in Trump's new administration.
She announced she won't do that over the weekend.

"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," she wrote 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, "I have read so many of your kind messages and I cannot thank you enough. I do have a big announcement that I’m excited to share in January, so, stay tuned. I remain incredibly passionate about public service and look forward to serving our country again sometime in the future. In the meantime, I wish Governor DeSantis the best of luck with this appointment."
