“We’ve all been residents for the state of Florida now for over three years. If that’s something that’s put in front of me, it would be a true honor. But, yeah, look, I think probably my last name does heighten my political profile a little bit, but I’ve got a proven track record.
“I’ve been co-chair of the RNC during the most consequential election of our lifetime. We were so proud of what we did at the RNC making sure that there was election integrity, making sure we got the early vote on, making sure we turned out low propensity voters and raising huge amounts of money.
“So I would say that my track record speaks for itself. Maybe having the last name Trump is just a little bit extra. I’m always happy to have it.” – Lara Trump, who only became RNC co-chair because Trump forced them to choose her.
Insiders have speculated that should Trump replace Hegseth with DeSantis, the strings attached will be DeSantis naming Lara Trump to fill Rubio’s Senate seat.
