Lara Trump stepping down as RNC co-chair, considering Senate seat

Lara Trump announced Sunday she plans to formally step down as Republican National Committee co-chair at the next RNC meeting.

Why it matters: Several Republican senators are pushing for her to fill the U.S. Senate seat set to be vacated by Secretary of State nominee Marco Rubio in Florida, and President-elect Trump's daughter-in-law confirmed Sunday she's seriously considering the move.

State of play: Lara Trump wrote on X Sunday evening that the RNC had achieved three distinct goals: surpassing all fundraising records, building "the largest army of lawyers and poll watchers to ensure election integrity" and turning out "millions" of voters during early voting in the 2024 elections.

"The job I came to do is now complete," she added, thanking RNC Chair Michael Whatley and her father-in-law, of whom she said she was "so proud" and "grateful" that he trusted her in the position.
