Lara Trump Drops Political Bombshell After President's Snub
Lara Trump is no longer her father-in-law’s choice to run for Senate in North Carolina.
The former co-chair of the Republican National Committee dropped the surprise announcement Thursday morning in a statement on X.
“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,” she said. “I look forward to the future, wherever that leads.”
Politico reports that her announcement came after the president decided to endorse Michael Whatley, the current chair of the Republican National Committee.
Two insiders with knowledge of Trump’s decision told the outlet that Whatley, 57, is expected to formally announce his candidacy in the coming days and will receive endorsements from both Trump and the president’s daughter-in-law
