GOP Senators Back Lara Trump To Fill Rubio’s Seat

November 16, 2024 Republicans, Trump cultists

The Hill reports:

Calls from Republicans are intensifying for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) to pick President-elect Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump to replace his secretary of State pick, Marco Rubio, in the Senate.

On Thursday, Florida Sen. Rick Scott (R) said he hopes Trump picks his daughter-in-law, echoing his colleagues Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Katie Britt (R-Ala.). Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R) has also publicly backed her.

“There are a lot of good names in the mix for the Senate seat, Lara Trump being one of them,” Republican Party of Florida Chair Evan Power said. “I think she would be a capable voice if that’s the direction the governor decided to go in.”

This morning Lara Trump appeared on Fox & Friends Weekends to personally lobby for the seat:

“Well, you know, there have been been crazier things the Trumps have done in the past, that’s for sure. Look, I was honored to be co-chair of RNC during this time and really historic election. I think that what we did at RNC was part of the big win Donald Trump had and if I’m tapped to serve in another capacity, it truly would be my honor.  think it would be great to have another young mom alongside Katie Britt there in the United States senate. I have not been asked yet, but I certainly would strongly consider it if it’s presented to me.”

DeSantis is currently in Italy on a trade mission.
