Lara Trump, President-elect Trump\u2019s daughter-in-law, said Saturday she is removing herself from consideration for Florida Republican Marco Rubio\u2019s<\/a> seat in the U.S. Senate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“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,” she wrote on X Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The president-elect has nominated Rubio to be secretary of state.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I could not have been more honored to serve as RNC co-chair during the most high-stakes election of our lifetime and I\u2019m truly humbled by the unbelievable support shown to me by the people of our country, and here in the great state of Florida,” Lara Trump added.<\/p>\n

TRUMP SAYS HE DOESN’T EXPECT DESANTIS TO NAME DAUGHTER-IN-LAW LARA TRUMP AS RUBIO’S SENATE REPLACEMENT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Trump, the wife of Eric Trump, the president-elect\u2019s son, stepped down as co-chair<\/a> of the Republican National Committee earlier this month.<\/p>\n

” I have read so many of your kind messages and I cannot thank you enough,” Lara Trump said, adding she has a “big announcement that I\u2019m excited to share in January.”<\/p>\n

She said she remains “incredibly passionate about public service and (looks) forward to serving our country again sometime in the future. In the meantime, I wish Governor DeSantis the best of luck with this appointment.”<\/p>\n

The president-elect had previously pressed DeSantis<\/a> to name Lara as Rubio’s replacement, a source in his political orbit told Fox News Digital, but he later told reporters he didn’t necessarily expect him to select her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That’s his choice,” the president-elect added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rubio\u2019s senate replacement will be appointed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and will serve the remaining two years of Rubio’s term.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2026, the seat will be open for a full six-year term.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lara Trump had previously said she was “seriously considering” the position, although she wasn\u2019t sure it was right for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
