Lara Trump, Donald Trump's daughter-in-law, resigned her role as co-chair of the Republican National Committee on Sunday, ending her nine-month run at the organization that funded much of Trump's legal bills.
“The job I came to do is now complete and I intend to formally step down from the RNC at our next meeting,” she wrote in a post on X about why she’s stepping down from the job her father-in-law forced Republicans to give her.
The news of her exit comes as she is working to get Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to appoint her to the U.S. Senate to fill the vacancy that will be created when current Sen. Marco Rubio is likely confirmed to be Trump's secretary of state.
Trump world is pressuring DeSantis, who as Florida governor has the job of choosing who will fill the vacancy before a special election can be held, to appoint her to the seat, which she claims she’s qualified for simply because of her last name and the fact that she’s lived in Florida for three years.
