Serving as the @GOP co-chair throughout the course of the most consequential election in American history has truly been the honor of my life.

Her resignation is fueling a lot of speculation about what’s next for her political career.

Will she have a place in her father-in-law’s administration?

Is she running for Senator?

AP reported that Lara Trump says a Senate run is a definite possibility:

Lara Trump will step down as co-chair of the Republican National Committee as she considers a number of potential options with her father-in-law, President-elect Donald Trump, set to return to the White House.

Among those possibilities is replacing Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, whom Trump tapped to be the next secretary of state. If Rubio is confirmed, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will choose who takes the seat through the remainder of Rubio’s term, which expires in 2026.

“It is something I would seriously consider,” she told The Associated Press in an interview. “If I’m being completely transparent, I don’t know exactly what that would look like. And 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.”

What do you think?

Would you like to see Lara Trump elected as a Senator or somewhere else?

Here’s what folks on X are saying:

She could be appointed to the @SenMarcoRubio seat. No need to run just yet.

Her star is only rising. It would be awesome to see her make a run for a Senate seat.
