Former President Trump is reportedly urging Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to appoint Lara Trump, his daughter-in-law, to Senator Marco Rubio's seat should Rubio be confirmed as Secretary of State. This potential appointment has been a subject of much discussion, with several Republican figures expressing their support for Lara Trump. She recently stepped down as co-chair of the Republican National Committee, fueling further speculation about her political future.

If appointed, Lara Trump would serve a two-year term before facing re-election in 2026. The former president and Governor DeSantis are expected to attend the Army-Navy football game this weekend, potentially providing an opportunity to discuss the matter.

Lara Trump has expressed interest in the position, stating she would "seriously consider" the opportunity to serve the people of Florida. She has previously indicated her openness to serving in public office and was rumored to be considering a Senate run in North Carolina after the 2020 election, though she ultimately endorsed Senator Ted Budd instead.
