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

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.
• Trump said last week that he asked Whatley to remain in his role.

What we're watching: If the Senate confirms Rubio, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) would appoint a successor who would serve until a special election in 2026 to determine who finishes the term that's set to end in 2028.

• Lara Trump told AP in an interview published Sunday that she would "seriously consider" putting her name forward for the Senate seat.

• "If I'm being completely transparent, I don't know exactly what that would look like," she added. "I certainly want to get all of the information possible if that is something that's real for me. But yeah, I would 100% consider it."
