Lara is married to Donald Trump’s son, Eric Trump. Lara detailed in her X post that she has a “big announcement” to make in January but didn’t hold back on details.
“I couldn’t be more honored to serve as co-chair of the RNC in the most highly-elected of our lifetimes and I’m truly humbled by the incredible support shown to me by the people of our country, and here in the great state of Florida,” Lara added.
In March this year, Lara was elected to lead the Republican National Committee as co-chair and strengthened her father-in-law Donald Trump’s grip as he campaigned for the now-concluded US presidential election.
