Lara Trump announced tonight that she is withdrawing her name from consideration as a replacement for Marco Rubio in the Senate.
Here’s what she wrote:
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.
I could not have been more honored to serve as RNC co-chair during the most high-stakes election of our lifetime and I’m truly humbled by the unbelievable support shown to me by the people of our country, and here in the great state of Florida. I have read so many of your kind messages and I cannot thank you enough.
I do have a big announcement that I’m excited to share in January, so, stay tuned.
I remain incredibly passionate about public service and look forward to serving our country again sometime in the future. In the meantime, I wish Governor DeSantis the best of luck with this appointment.
I’m honestly glad she did this because it frees up DeSantis to make the best pick possible to replace Rubio and not upset MAGA world. Good on Lara. I have much respect for this decision.
