Lara Trump Withdraws from Florida Senate Race

Deccan Chronicle  

Washington: Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of President-elect Donald Trump, said on Saturday that she is removing herself from consideration to be a Florida senator -- ending speculation that she could replace Republican Senator Marco Rubio, who has been tapped to be the incoming administration's secretary of state. "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," Lara Trump posted on X. If Rubio is confirmed, his replacement -- who would be chosen by Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis -- would serve for two years until the next regularly scheduled election in 2026. The idea of placing a Trump family member in the Senate had been backed by some Republicans, including Maye Musk, mother of Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who Trump has named co-head of a group tasked with reducing federal spending and regulations during his second term as president.
