The announcement comes after her father reportedly spoke with Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) about appointing Lara to the Senate seat.

Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of President-elect Donald Trump, says she's removing herself from consideration for Marco Rubio's Senate seat.

The announcement comes more than a month after the incoming president tapped Rubio as his secretary of state designee, prompting speculation that Lara Trump could fill the vacant seat in the US

The daughter-in-law of President-elect Donald Trump had recently announced she was stepping down as the Republican National Committee co-chair.

Trump reversed the Cuba ‘thaw’ initiated by President Barack Obama. But second-guessing the incoming president’s policy on the island isn’t straightforward.

Donald Trump told reporters on Monday that he doesn’t know if Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will choose Lara Trump to fill Sen. Marco Rubio’s seat.

When Donald trump looks around for people to fill his cabinet, he doesn't look very far. More than a dozen of his nominees have Florida connections.

Gov. Ron DeSantis never had to say whether or not he wanted to endorse former Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump for Senate. On Saturday, she said she no longer was interested in the appointment to replace Secretary of State nominee Marco Rubio.

The President-elect is bullish on the exiting Senator, Secretary of State nominee Marco Rubio, describing the Miami Republican as a “star,” while saying his exit “leaves a vacancy in Florida, and Ron’s going to have to make that decision, and he’ll make the right decision.”

America’s prospective secretary of state is not in the league of a Henry Kissinger, say. He has another option, though.
