Lara Trump removes herself from consideration for Marco Rubio’s U.S. Senate seat

Lara Trump, President-elect Trump’s daughter-in-law, said Saturday she is removing herself from consideration for Florida Republican Marco Rubio’s seat in the U.S. Senate.

"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.

The president-elect has nominated Rubio to be secretary of state.

"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," Lara Trump added..................

After much prayer, I am taking my name out of consideration as well.  I remain passionate as ever about my stamp collection, and am humbled by your support, like, and such as.

I don't think DeSantis has revealed who he's considering.

Interesting.  Whatever deal Trump was trying to make with Desantis must have fell through.

I'm not so sure if there's an amount of animosity between Trump and DeSantis, but so far DeSantis has pretty much marched to the beat of his own drum. He's bucked the 'system' throughout his governorship.

who knows, maybe DeSantis actually cares more about the people of Florida and wants what’s best for them.

That's been a given. He's for the most part put the people of Florida first and has done the right thing as governor.  He's not perfect, but he's been a darn good governor.

It would have been totally out of character for him to accept the DOD post in exchange for Senator Lara.  That's why I never believed he would do it.

I think she was wise to not pursue this.

If she wants to join that cesspool, she needs to run for office.

Getting appointed would have been more fodder for morons like Max Waters.
