President-elect Donald Trump recently spoke to Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) about appointing his daughter-in-law Lara Trump to finish out Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-FL) term in the Senate, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Trump tapped Rubio to serve as his secretary of state, and DeSantis has free rein to appoint someone to fill the seat until an election can be held in 2026. Lara Trump recently announced she would be stepping down as co-chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, which fueled rumors she was eyeing the Senate seat.
