Lara Trump Considers Running for Senate Seat
On February 19, Lara Trump, who is married to Eric Trump, expressed her interest in running for a Senate seat, stating that she would “never say never to anything.” The 43-year-old shared her thoughts on the possibility of running for office, drawing inspiration from her family’s involvement in politics.
Lara revealed that she had previously considered running for a Senate seat in 2022 to replace North Carolina Senator Richard Burr but ultimately decided against it. Two years later, there were talks of President Trump nominating her to fill Marco Rubio’s Senate seat, but those plans did not come to fruition.
Reflecting on the timing of her potential candidacy, Lara emphasized the importance of waiting for the right moment to pursue political office. She mentioned how her father-in-law, Donald Trump, had contemplated running for president for a long time before eventually deciding to do so. Lara echoed the sentiment that timing plays a crucial role in making such decisions.
While Lara has not confirmed her candidacy for a Senate seat, her openness to the idea indicates a willingness to follow in her family’s footsteps and contribute to the political landscape. As discussions around her potential run continue, Lara remains focused on finding the right opportunity to make a meaningful impact through public service.
