Senator Trump: Lara Trump Makes Big Life Change as Senate Announcement Could Be Coming
President-elect Donald Trump has worked tirelessly to rejuvenate his political standing, so much so that his notable familial and generational strides might be easily overlooked.
Remarkably, among Trump’s most influential allies and surrogates, only the 70-year-old nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., shares the same generational cohort as the 78-year-old president-elect.
On Sunday, 42-year-old Lara Trump, the president-elect’s daughter-in-law, took to the social media platform X to announce her resignation as co-chair of the Republican National Committee. This announcement has sparked speculation about the potential for one of Trump’s accomplished millennial allies to ascend to the U.S. Senate.
Lara Trump, married to Eric Trump, the president-elect’s son, expressed her gratitude for her time as RNC co-chair, calling it “the honor of my life.” She highlighted the RNC’s “three distinct goals” focusing on fundraising, election integrity, and voter turnout.
“We accomplished all three,” she stated before revealing her intention to step down at the upcoming RNC meeting.
There is widespread speculation that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis may consider appointing Lara Trump to the Senate seat left vacant by Republican Senator Marco Rubio, whom the president-elect has nominated for secretary of state.
In a recent interview with the Associated Press, Lara Trump hinted at her openness to such an opportunity. “It is something I would seriously consider,” she remarked. “If I’m being completely transparent, I don’t know exactly what that would look like. And I certainly want to get all of the information possible if that is something that’s real for me. But yeah, I would 100 percent consider it.”
While many users on X commended her tenure as RNC co-chair, some questioned the timing of her decision to step down. These critiques often pointed to extended vote-counting periods in several states, which fueled suspicions of possible Democratic misconduct.
Regardless of broader concerns, Lara Trump played an undeniable role in securing a victory for her father-in-law that was simply too significant to contest.
The idea of a 42-year-old Senator Lara Trump is therefore an intriguing prospect.
Should such an appointment come to fruition, she would join a growing roster of accomplished Trump-supporting millennials in prominent positions. This list includes 43-year-old Tulsi Gabbard, nominated for director of national intelligence; 40-year-old Vice President-elect J.D. Vance; 39-year-old Vivek Ramaswamy, chosen to help spearhead the newly established “Department of Government Efficiency”; and 39-year-old Nicole Shanahan, Kennedy’s former vice-presidential nominee who aligned with Trump in August.
These influential millennials were central to one of the president-elect’s standout campaign ads for 2024:
Notably, Trump himself made only a brief appearance in the “Unity” ad.
As Trump prepares for his second presidential term, his focus extends beyond his immediate responsibilities. He seems acutely aware that the future of his political movement rests with the next generation of leaders.
Securing his daughter-in-law’s place in the Senate would undoubtedly bolster this talented cohort, further solidifying their influence and capabilities.
