It has been widely speculated that Lara Trump, President-elect Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, might be appointed to fill Sen. Marco Rubio’s U.S. Senate seat, should he be confirmed as the next Secretary of State.
Lara had resigned from her position as co-chair of the Republican National Committee earlier this month.
However, she announced in a social media post Saturday afternoon that she is withdrawing her name from consideration for Rubio’s seat, and teased that she will be making a big announcement next month.
Her statement reads:
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.
I could not have been more honored to serve as RNC co-chair during the most high-stakes election of our lifetime and I’m truly humbled by the unbelievable support shown to me by the people of our country, and here in the great state of Florida. I have read so many of your kind messages and I cannot thank you enough.
I do have a big announcement that I’m excited to share in January, so, stay tuned.
I remain incredibly passionate about public service and look forward to serving our country again sometime in the future. In the meantime, I wish Governor DeSantis the best of luck with this appointment.

It will fall to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to appoint someone to fill Rubio’s seat. A spokesperson for DeSantis said in November that the governor “will be conducting a thorough vetting process and interview process in December that will involve several candidates.”
DeSantis is expected to make his decision around the beginning of January.
