Lara Trump, President-elect Donald Trump's daughter-in-law, said on Saturday that she decided to remove her name from consideration to be a senator in Florida. The announcement quashed speculation that she was interested in replacing Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., whom Trump wants to serve as secretary of state.

"After an incredible amount of thought, contemplation, and encouragement from so many, I have decided to remove my name from consideration for the United States Senate," Lara Trump said in a post to X. She went on to tease a "big announcement" that she would share in January.

"I remain incredibly passionate about public service and look forward to serving our country again sometime in the future," she added. "In the meantime, I wish Governor DeSantis the best of luck with this appointment."

Earlier this month, she announced that she would step down as co-chair of the Republican National Convention. She previously ascended to the role in March.
