Senator Katie Britt (R-Ala.) has asked Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to pick Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump to replace Sen. Marco Rubio.
Lara co-chairs the Republican National Committee (RNC) and is married to Trump’s third son Eric. Her extensive experience in the media and at the RNC, and her affiliation with Trump’s family would be an asset to the GOP.
Lara also defended Trump when Mark Cuban accused the former president of not having “strong, intelligent women” around him.
In a virtual interview with Fox News, she pointed out that Trump hired women to build the Trump Tower and head his organizations “before it was politically advantageous for anybody.” Speaking during Trump’s campaign in Reading, Pennsylvania, alongside “Women for Trump” members, Lara predicted victory in early voting.
“We have absolutely killed them in early vote…,” she said.
