Summary
Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of Donald Trump, has withdrawn her name from consideration for Florida’s Senate seat, previously held by Marco Rubio.
Rubio, nominated for secretary of state, will have his replacement chosen by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
A prominent surrogate during Donald Trump’s campaign, Lara’s withdrawal follows speculation about her continued political ambitions.

You’re right, she probably could grift better in something else like a cabinet post. Senators don’t get nearly the same opportunities for corruption.
