President Trump told reporters he doesn’t expect Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to appoint Lara Trump, his daughter-in-law, to the U.S. Senate. Trump nominated Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) as secretary of state in his administration, which would leave a vacant U.S. Senate seat in Florida. Rumors have circulated that Lara Trump could get the nod from DeSantis, especially after she stepped down as co-chair of the Republican National Committee. “No, I don’t [expect her to be appointed],” President Trump responded when a reporter asked about the potential appointment. “I probably don’t, but I don’t know. Ron’s doing a good job. That is his choice. Nothing to do with me,” he added.

But yeah, I would 100% consider it.” Rubio, a three-term senator, appears to be on track for his colleagues to confirm his appointment to be the nation’s top diplomat running the State Department. DeSantis posted last month on X that he’d be conducting “extensive vetting and candidate interviews” on Rubio’s replacement and “likely” would make his selection by the beginning of January. “Florida deserves a Senator who will help President Trump deliver on his election mandate, be strong on immigration and border security, take on the entrenched bureaucracy and administrative state, reverse the nation’s fiscal decline, be animated by conservative principles, and has a proven record of results,” DeSantis said. Senator Marco Rubio is expected to resign from the Senate to assume duties as Secretary of State when the Trump administration takes power on January 20th, creating a vacancy roughly two months from today. We have already received strong interest from several possible… — Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) November 18, 2024 Lara Trump says she’d ‘100% consider’ replacing Marco Rubio in Senate, resigns as RNC co-chair https://t.co/JXXhE8Cph3 pic.twitter.com/SkzO7UP0pD — New York Post (@nypost) December 9, 2024 From the Miami Herald: The Florida governor has already begun vetting potential Senate appointees, and has said that he’ll likely make a decision on Rubio’s replacement by early January. Several high-profile Florida Republicans have been floated as potential candidates for the Senate seat, including DeSantis’ Chief of Staff James Uthmeier, state Attorney General Ashley Moody and Florida Lt. Gov. Jeanette Núñez. Trump is also said to be considering nominating DeSantis for defense secretary if his current pick for the job, Fox News host Pete Hegseth, isn’t able to win confirmation in the Senate. It’s unclear if that possibility could influence whom DeSantis chooses for Rubio’s seat. Trump has publicly expressed support for Hegseth, who has said that he does not intend to withdraw from the defense secretary nomination. Speaking to reporters at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach on Monday, Trump heaped praise on his daughter-in-law, saying that she had done an “unbelievable job” as the RNC’s co-chair. But he also said that the decision on who will replace Rubio in the Senate was DeSantis’ alone.
