Lara Trump, President-elect Donald Trump's daughter-in-law, said on Saturday that she decided to remove her name from consideration to be a senator in Florida. The announcement quashed speculation that she was interested in replacing Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., whom Trump wants to serve as secretary of state.

"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," Lara Trump said in a post to X. She went on to tease a "big announcement" that she would share in January.

"I remain incredibly passionate about public service and look forward to serving our country again sometime in the future," she added. "In the meantime, I wish Governor DeSantis the best of luck with this appointment."

Earlier this month, she announced that she would step down as co-chair of the Republican National Convention. She previously ascended to the role in March.

1. What kind of deal was made?

Ambassador to some very rich Middle Eastern country so Eric can get some money too?

[Prairie Gates]

17. Head of the National Endowment for the Arts

Her singing career will take up 98% of the grants from now on.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

2. In other words, she's been booted off the island.

[Attilatheblond]

3. "big announcement" that she would share in January ?

President Musk gonna put her in his administration?

[SheilaAnn]

5. I read she found out DeSantis was not going to name her, she's outta there. n/t

[rsdsharp]

7. Exactly. They're trying to get ahead of it, so it doesn't look like DeSantis screwed the Trumps.

[riversedge]

10. agree. DeSantis talked nasty about Trump for a long time. I don't think he and DeSantis are buddies. IMHO

[wolfie001]

12. I can't think of a more repulsive pair

Maybe hitler and mussolini?

[msongs]

4. she recently learned it required actual work at least some of the time nt

[wolfie001]

13. That would def interfere with her busy schedule:

[SunSeeker]

18. Good grief, she doesn't even look like the same person after those lip injections and brow lift.

It certainly was not an improvement. Why do people do this to themselves?

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

20. The orange shitstain likes women who look like mannikins.

21. She was very pretty earlier

Then she literally turned into a trumper witch.

[karin_sj]

30. Be careful, Lara...

If you start looking too much like Kimberly Guilfoyle, Eric might trade you in for a newer, fresher version like his brother did.

[SunSeeker]

31. Yup. She might end up Ambassador to Mongolia.

[chicoescuela]

29. Yikes, that's the look she was going for?

[Irish_Dem]

6. Translation: "passionate about public service" means "it's the best grift around."

These people are shameless.

[Callie1979]

34. Perfect description !!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

8. President MuskRat will no doubt find her a new position in his administration.

[turbinetree]

9. Maybe she got a gig singing songs..........in e flat............as for the big announcement did president Musk approve

of this ....before hand .......asking for a friend.......................

[Callie1979]

35. Oh LORD I forgot about that travesty

[turbinetree]

37. Better yet did the coach Musk going to let the second stringer bench sitter Trump out to play.........

or the place him on the practice squad..............

[not fooled]

11. Perhaps President Musk has someone in mind

that he prefers to another nepo appointment. Senators, after all, have some real power. President Musk wants to make sure the person has their loyalty priorities straight.

[Aristus]

14. She doesn't want to miss those plastic surgery appointments.

🧟

[LilElf70]

15. Incredible amount of thought?

Really?

How can this be for someone that does not have any common sense?

There's more to this story than what is shown in this thread.

[Bo Zarts]

22. "Incredible amount of thought?"

[johnnyfins]

23. Yeah.

I 'd be surprised if she was capable of "An incredible amount of thought"

[Prairie Gates]

16. Does anyone recall this kind of nonsense ever happening before?

She's "removing" he "name" from "contention" as a US Senator? I mean, I guess those words all make sense together, but truly, we are through the looking glass. DeSantis hasn't announced any "contenders" (is there a contest of some kind for these contenders?!?), nor has her "name" been anything more than a rumored possibility. These people really live on some weirdo frequency where announcing that you've withdrawn yourself from consideration for a position nobody on Earth thinks you should have is a normal thing. This is bonkers bananas.

[NCDem47]

27. I was going to say the same thing!

She's playing it like she is a serious contender with skills to bring and that she holds all the cards.

HA!

As if.

[Windy Apple]

19. When did she

‘…serve’ ‘our’ ‘country?’

[johnnyfins]

24. Announcement in January?

She's prolly running for Speaker of the House. Seriously, it would not surprise me.

[twodogsbarking]

25. They are like roaches. They multiply.

[Mr. Sparkle]

26. The people of Flordia can now breathe a sigh of relief

[turbinetree]

28. Big announcement in January..........the 14th Amendment doesn't mean shit...........

Disqualification of former government officials: Disqualifies former government officials from holding office if they took an oath to support the Constitution but then betrayed it by engaging in an insurrection

[sop]

32. DeSantis is angry because Trump's handlers didn't want Ron for the SecDef job.

[moonscape]

33. I revile him, but actually

am also sorry he didn’t get tapped for the job. He would less catastrophic than anyone else Musk has in mind.

[SayItLoud]

36. De Satan has future plans:

And he wants his back protected. Gaetz, Judge Loose Cannon ????
