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Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of Donald Trump, has withdrawn her name from consideration for Florida’s Senate seat, previously held by Marco Rubio.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.

      That would make a great article for The Onion. A whole bunch of things she announces she’s turned down that she is completely unqualified for.

    Considering people straight up do not care if these people are murderers I can only assume she’s done something cripplingly embarrassing, or she has been told she’s getting put somewhere better which is worse…

        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.

          Also, the Cabinet posts come with a built-in ‘deep state’ of professionals who do most of the actual work.

    She was RNC chair briefly, right? I bet she couldn’t withstand any scrutiny as to where the money was spent. Same with the DNC. Follow the money.
