Aspiring singer Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of President-elect Donald Trump, is apparently stepping down from her position as co-chair of the Republican National Committee—possibly to run for the United States Senate, according to the New York Times.
She announced her leave on X this morning, stating: “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” before outlying party goals to pass fundraising records, build an “army of lawyers and poll watchers to ensure election integrity,” and to increase voter turnout.
