The latest to clinch a promotion could be Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump. In an interview with Axios, Alabama Republican Sen. Katie Britt lobbied for Lara, who currently serves as RNC co-chair, to fill Marco Rubio’s soon-to-be vacant Senate seat—if Trump does indeed select him as secretary of state in his administration.

Following news that U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio will likely be President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for Secretary of State, speculation picked up on whom Gov. Ron DeSantis may appoint to Florida’s Senate seat. Sources close to Donald Trump and DeSantis tell Florida Politics that Lara Trump, Co-Chair of the RNC, will be considered.

Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.) is publicly calling for President-elect Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump to be chosen to fill a Florida Senate seat — a sign of Trump allies potentially rallying around the pick.

If Trump selects Rubio as Secretary of State, DeSantis would gain the power to appoint a temporary Senate replacement.

Sen. Marco Rubio appears on track to become the first Latino secretary of State and likely highest ranking Latino in the Trump administration.
