Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna and Senator Katie Britt are advocating for Lara Trump to be appointed to the U.S. Senate to fill the vacancy left by Marco Rubio, who is expected to become Secretary of State in the Trump administration. Both Luna and Britt believe that Lara Trump, who is currently the RNC Co-Chair, is the best candidate to maintain the seat and avoid a contentious primary. Luna highlighted Lara Trump's work on election integrity. Sources close to Governor Ron DeSantis indicate that there is significant pressure on him to make this appointment, with Trump allies pushing for this move. DeSantis is currently in Italy and has not made any official statements regarding the matter. Axios reported on Britt's support for Lara Trump.
