Another day brings another expression of interest in a Senate appointment from the Co-Chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC).
In comments made at The Washington Post’s 2024 Global Women’s Summit, Lara Trump yet again said she’s ready to be Marco Rubio’s replacement in the Senate, but added that she still hasn’t talked to the ultimate decider in that scenario: Gov. Ron DeSantis.
“If I am appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis and he feels that I’m the right fit to take over the U.S. Senate seat for Marco Rubio, those are big shoes to fill, but I would take it very seriously,” said Trump, the daughter-in-law of the President-elect.
Trump said co-chairing the RNC gave her “insight into serving,” adding that she has “not heard one way or another” from DeSantis, but would be “humbled and honored” to serve.
This is just the latest reiteration of the same points from Trump.
On Wednesday, she told Fox News viewers that she “would be honored to serve as the next Senator from my state right now,” adding that she has lived “for three and a half years in Florida.”
She made similar statements during two other Fox hits.
“If I am tapped to serve in another capacity, it truly would be my honor. I think it would be great to have another young mom alongside Katie Britt there in the United States Senate. I have not been asked yet, but I certainly would strongly consider it if it is presented to me,” she said on Saturday.
Those comments came after another appearance on Fox last week, during which Trump said she would “love” to be appointed Senator.

It’s simple. She is not qualified by education or experience to serve in the US Senate. The Trump Crime Family can’t seem to get enough of the kabuki clown theatrics.

What is qualified in your world? Was Granholm qualified to be the head of DOE? How about Buttabug? Mayor of South Bend now going to run. The DOT? Then there is Blinken. Really? Oh and what qualified Kammy besides skin color and gender for her to be VP?

Mayor Pete is an excellent candidate for the US Senate. Four steady years in the Cabinet have given the public a good look at someone who is articulate and task-oriented.
Tell us again how Mrs. Trump is qualified besides being a US citizen.

Yeah, he is task oriented, getting on his knees . . . and not to pray. Back of the throat stuff.

Peachy still in a tizzy from the election. How dare Biden step aside for Harris?

Peachy was quick to spread disinformation about Doug Emhoff — it was not the nanny Doug impregnated — so let’s see how Peachy does with allegation from RFK Jr.’s former nanny that K groped her on numerous occasions.

Peachy gives MAGA service vets the benefit of the doubt, but not Mayor Pete who served for seven years as an officer in the U.S. Navy Reserve and deployed to Afghanistan in 2014.
Buttigieg is a graduate of Harvard University and Oxford, where he was a Rhodes Scholar.

How about looking for WELL qualified–it’s for Senator after all–rather than quibbling over what is qualified, but barely.

I am also ready …. though I have no name recognition… only nearly 30 years uniformed service to our nation as a combat veteran; 34+ years practicing physician’ board-certified emergency physician; Father; Small business owner; world-traveler; leader’ community servant; Catholic Christian ; Masters in Public Health with Graduate Certificate from USF; graduation of the AMPAC cousrses for candidates and campaign particpants; advocate to Legislators; etc etc …. So why limit to politicians and family members of notable politicians ….?

Doctor, you’re overqualified. All they want is a party hack who votes in lockstep, and Desantis doesnt want to set up a problem for himself should he run for the full term. A George LeMieux if you remember him.
The day of public servants is over, replaced by those who serve themselves. Appointing Lara Trump is like Obama appointing Caroline Kennedy to be ambassador to Japan.

Good evening America,
Ron & Don are just waiting for the right moment to supprise Lara. This appointment is really nobody’s business except Don’s & Ron’s.
I, EARL PITTS AMERICAN, agree with whatever Don & Ron decide to do.
Thank you America,
EARL PITTS AMERICAN
