With the 2024 election now in the rearview, Lara Trump has officially resigned from her role as co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC). In a statement, she called the position “the honor of my life” and declared, “The job I came to do is now complete.” Her resignation is already sparking speculation about her future in politics and what role she might play in the incoming Trump administration.
Lara Trump’s departure comes at a pivotal moment as President-elect Trump prepares to return to the White House. Many are wondering whether she might take on a new role in her father-in-law’s administration or aim for elected office herself. One potential opportunity on the horizon? A Senate seat.
Serving as the @GOP co-chair throughout the course of the most consequential election in American history has truly been the honor of my life.
At the RNC, we had three distinct goals:
1) surpass all fundraising records
2) build the largest army of lawyers and poll watchers… pic.twitter.com/bcHdDHhwQq

Reports indicate that Lara Trump is seriously considering a run for the U.S. Senate if Florida’s current Senator, Marco Rubio, is confirmed as Secretary of State. Rubio’s appointment would leave his seat vacant, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis would be tasked with appointing someone to serve the remainder of Rubio’s term, which runs through 2026. When asked about the possibility, Lara Trump told the Associated Press, “It is something I would seriously consider… I would 100% consider it.”
Lara Trump has long been a fixture in Republican politics, serving as a key advisor and campaign surrogate for her father-in-law. Her energetic presence and sharp communication skills have made her a favorite among the MAGA base. A Senate run would give her a platform to continue advancing the America First agenda and ensure conservative policies are well-represented in Congress.
The prospect of Lara Trump as a senator is already exciting many on the right. With her experience in national campaigns, media savvy, and connection to one of the most influential political families in the country, she would be a formidable candidate. Her potential appointment would also help cement the Trump family’s influence within the GOP and ensure that the Senate has another strong advocate for the policies that propelled President Trump back to the presidency.
Whether she ends up in the Senate, a key role in the Trump administration, or another position within the Republican Party, one thing is clear: Lara Trump’s political career is far from over. Her resignation from the RNC is just the beginning of what promises to be a dynamic and influential next chapter.
