Lara Trump says she’s removed her name from contention to be Florida’s senator

Lara Trump, former president Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, has withdrawn her name from consideration for the vacant Florida Senate seat. Speculation had swirled around Lara Trump’s potential candidacy for months. In a statement, she said she had “decided not to enter the race for the U.S. Senate.” She did not provide any specific reasons for her decision, but expressed her gratitude for the support she had received. The move leaves Florida’s Republican Party without a clear front-runner in the race. The seat is currently held by Republican Marco Rubio, who is running for reelection.
