Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump, has officially announced her campaign for co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC). The move is seen as part of an effort by Trump loyalists to solidify their influence within the GOP.
Lara Trump, who is married to Eric Trump, has been a vocal supporter of her father-in-law and served as a senior advisor for his 2020 re-election campaign. It is believed that her potential position in the RNC could help establish a platform for her own political aspirations as well as furthering the Trump family’s influence within the Republican party.
It remains to be seen how her campaign will be received within the RNC and the broader GOP, especially considering the divisions within the party following the 2020 election and the accompanying controversy. As federal law states, the RNC is responsible for developing and promoting the Republican political platform, thus whoever holds the position of co-chair holds a significant amount of influence.
