Lara Trump Steps Down As RNC Co-Chair, Considers Bid For Florida Senate Seat

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Among those possibilities is replacing Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, whom Trump tapped to be the next secretary of state. https://t.co/zM6oHvuFk2 — Maye Musk November 12, 2024 Lara Trump is genuinely great https://t.co/iqbDJAMTLe — Elon Musk November 12, 2024 Led by chairman Michael Whatley and Lara Trump, the RNC invested heavily in recruiting roughly 230,000 volunteers and an army of lawyers for what it called its “election integrity” effort, four years after Donald Trump lost his reelection bid to Democrat Joe Biden, citing false or unproven theories about voter fraud. “What I intended to do has been done.” Lara Trump praised Musk’s new endeavor, the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, a nongovernmental task force headed by Musk and and fellow entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. “And I think if they are successful in what they plan to do, I think it is going to be transformative to America in a great way.” She said she expects a different presidency this time, beginning with the structure of the administration: While Trump’s daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner served as White House advisers in his last administration, Lara Trump said she doesn’t see any family member taking any position in the White House this time around with her father-in-law. “Four years, and he’s out.” Lara Trump also says she expects the Republican Party to be more unified than it has ever been.
