Could There Soon Be A Senator Trump?

President Trump on Wednesday confirmed his selection of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) as his secretary of state.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will now have the task of appointing a new senator from the Sunshine State.

There is much speculation one of the leading candidates is Lara Trump, President Trump’s daughter-in-law.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) and Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) both suggested tapping the 42-year-old mother of two for the job.

“I think she is the best fit,” Luna said.

“She understands the America First agenda. For me, I think she would be a tremendous pick, a voice for hard working families and another mom of school aged kids that understands what we’re up against, and that’s to fight to protect the American dream,” Britt said, according to Axios.

Per Axios:

Sources tell us that other possible contenders for the seat include DeSantis’ chief of staff James Uthmeier and the state’s attorney general, Ashley Moody.

DeSantis and Trump have had an at-times fraught relationship since trading barbs during the primary season.

Now, DeSantis could find himself being pressured to appoint Trump’s daughter-in-law over one of his long-time aides.

“If I am able to serve, I would love to serve the people of Florida,” Trump said.

“Truly to have that opportunity I think would be incredible,” she added.

Benny Johnson made the case for Lara Trump to become the next U.S. Senator from Florida:

Marco Rubio’s long-held Florida Senate seat is open after an appointment to the Trump Cabinet. Lara Trump is the right person to fill it. Here is why…

– Lara is an active, young mother who resonates with the dynamic Trump coalition of 18-40 year olds who want REAL change in America

– Lara has a killer instinct for reform of broken systems. Without her sharp leadership at the RNC, Trump would not have won the 2024 election in a landslide

– Lara is laser-focused on the issues that Americans care most about: Economics, family preservation, health for our children, secure borders and free, fair elections

– Lara has personally sacrificed and suffered under the withering persecution of DC elites in corrupt Federal Agencies. What better motivation to dismantle them?

– Lara can protect Trump’s agenda in the Senate. This chamber is an old-mans club of backroom deals and secret votes. Lara represents the generation of transparency and accountability mandated by the American people

– Lara’s family brings great pride, respect and power to the State of Florida. She would be a commanding voice representing the young, energetic, entrepreneurial spirit of Florida.

As a Florida resident, I know my voice would be represented in the US Senate best by Lara Trump. Judging by the number of calls I’m receiving about it — I’m not alone.

From the New York Post:

Those close to the 42-year-old mother of two say she is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ definitive top choice to replace Rubio in the DC trenches.

“That’s a fact,” one source near Trump and her political career told The Post. And even Tesla CEO and Trump administration adviser Elon Musk is talking to her about the career move.

“But she needs to make a decision. That’s hard when Elon and everyone else is encouraging you to do it,” the source said.

Lara, who’s married to Trump’s second son and Trump Organization boss Eric, is Republican National Committee co-chair, and she’s been receiving serious internal GOP recognition after her father-in-law’s stunning Election Day victory.

She would join Sen. Rick Scott on Capitol Hill in a new GOP majority that’s reportedly laser-focused on tax cuts and immigration reform.

At her very first campaign speech in northern Michigan months ago, she told The Post she’d “consider” her post-election future only after she secured Republicans the White House and Senate majority.
