Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of President-elect Donald Trump, announced her resignation as co-chair of the Republican National Committee to focus on possible Senate vacancy speculation. She aims to step down after achieving fundraising, election integrity, and voter turnout goals. Trump has been mentioned as a potential replacement for Senator Marco Rubio, who is set to become Secretary of State. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will select Rubio’s replacement, with rumors circulating that DeSantis may be considered for Defense Secretary. Trump has expressed willingness to serve in another capacity if asked. NBC News reported that Hegseth’s nomination as Defense Secretary is questionable due to wavering GOP support stemming from allegations of mistreatment of women and excessive drinking. Hegseth denies the mistreatment allegations and claims the encounter leading to a settlement was consensual. Trump has reportedly spoken directly with Governor DeSantis about Hegseth’s nomination. Amid this speculation, Carly Roman, a politics editor at NBC News, provides updates and breaking coverage on the matter.
