Lara Trump Considers Senate Bid Amid Political Transition
Lara Trump, 42, wife of Eric Trump, announced on December 8 that she would step down as co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC) and explore new avenues in her political career as her father-in-law, Donald Trump, prepares to return to the White House.
One of Lara's potential paths includes a Senate run to replace Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who has been tapped by Trump to serve as Secretary of State in the upcoming administration. If Rubio assumes the role, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will appoint a successor to complete Rubio's Senate term, which lasts until 2026.
"I will seriously consider it," Lara said. "I don't know exactly what the job entails and want all the relevant information, but it's definitely on the table."
Since her election as RNC co-chair in March, Lara Trump has been a pivotal figure in securing the Republican Party’s victories in the presidency and both chambers of Congress. Her next steps could shape the party’s political trajectory, especially given her rising political profile and her close ties to the Trump family.
Momentum for a Trump Family Senate Role
The idea of a Trump family member in the Senate has gained traction among some Republicans. Notable supporters include Maye Musk, mother of Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.
"The Senate has long been a club for old men. We desperately need a smart, young, outspoken woman ready to expose their secrets," Maye Musk posted on X. Elon Musk, who spoke with Lara during the election night event at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, responded to his mother’s post: "Lara Trump is truly amazing."
Achievements at the RNC
Under the leadership of co-chairs Michael Whatley and Lara Trump, the RNC recruited approximately 230,000 volunteers and a team of lawyers to "safeguard the integrity of the election," four years after Trump’s loss to Democratic candidate Joe Biden. While Whatley remains RNC chair, Lara stated that she feels her mission as co-chair has been accomplished.
"With the Republican Party's resounding victory, I feel my work here is complete," she said. "The goals I set out to achieve have been fulfilled."
Praising Musk's Government Reform Efforts
Lara Trump praised Elon Musk’s leadership in the Government Optimization and Efficiency Directorate (DOGE), an agency tasked with streamlining federal bureaucracy under Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.
"I don't think we've seen anything like this in federal governance since the country was founded," she said. "If successful, they’ll bring transformative change to America."
Changes in the Trump Administration
Lara confirmed that no family members would take official roles in the White House this term. She emphasized that Trump’s second presidency would focus on building a capable government team and achieving success within the four-year term.
"He genuinely wants to succeed and accomplish great things during these four years—that’s all he’s focused on," she said. "Four years, and then he’ll step away."
Hopes for Republican Unity
Lara expressed optimism about greater unity within the Republican Party. Since her appointment as co-chair in May, the Trump campaign and the RNC have merged operations, which included restructuring and dismissing some staff. While this alignment may not sit well with Republicans critical of Trump’s agenda, she believes the changes have empowered the party.
"The entire party has undergone a fundamental shift," she remarked. "I think people feel more emboldened to voice their political stances."
