Ivanka Trump won't challenge Rubio for Senate seat in 2022


BY LEXI LONAS - 02/18/21 12:15 PM EST

Ivanka Trump will not challenge Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) for his Senate seat in 2022, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to The Hill.

The New York Times first reported the development on Thursday, citing an unidentified source who told the newspaper that Trump was not considering a Senate bid, despite rumors that she would primary Rubio in the next election.

“Marco did speak with Ivanka a few weeks ago,” Nick Iacovella, a spokesman for Rubio, told the Times. “Ivanka offered her support for Marco’s reelection. They had a great talk.”

Rubio, who was first elected by the state back in 2010. will be running for his third term in the Senate next year.

Oh my stomach hurts from laughing...
Just like it would watching that twinker belle run for Senate. Even Floridian GQP would have a hard time dealing with the carpet burns on her backside.

Next up? Donnie Jr in Wyoming and Lara in South Carolina.

What did he do or plan to do to get her to back off? Also, people change their minds. Nothing can be believed from that former guy and his crime family.

... Italy in 1946. Even Ivanka knows that the Trump name is toast in America except for
about 25% of our nation's racist dumb fucks. We very well might have 1,000,000 C-19
deaths by then and just about all of them are thanx to Donny Trump.
