Former RNC co-chair Lara Trump has revealed her decision on whether she will seek a Senate bid in North Carolina.
President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law issued the announcement on social media, but it wasn’t what her fans had in mind.

“After much consideration and heartfelt discussions with my family, friends, and supporters, I have decided not to pursue the United States Senate seat in North Carolina at this time,” Lara said on social media.
“I am deeply grateful for the encouragement and support I have received from the people of my home state, whom I love so much,” she added.
