Former President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law formally threw her hat into the ring at the Republican National Committee.
Lara Trump announced Tuesday on X that she wants to be the RNC’s co-chair.
“I’m excited to officially announce my candidacy for co-chair of the RNC. I promise you that I will be laser-focused on election integrity, voter turn out, and ensuring every dollar spent goes towards winning!” she wrote.
The announcement came one day after chair Ronna McDaniel and co-chair Drew McKissick announced their resignations.
In her X post, Mrs. Trump also endorsed Michael Whatley in his bid to replace Mrs. McDaniel as chair.
“@WhatleyNCGOP will do an incredible job! It will be my honor to work alongside him for the future of this country,” she wrote.
Mrs. Trump also wrote a letter to the RNC’s 168 members that she had “the endorsement of my father-in-law and 45th president, Donald J. Trump, for this position.”
“In the coming days, I look forward to connecting with you, the members of the RNC, and hopefully earning your vote,” she wrote, according to Politico.
