Meet Lara Trump, Donald Trump's daughter-in-law and RNC chair who's been floated for a Senate seat

She graduated from North Carolina State University in 2005 with a degree in communications.

Trump earned a degree in pastry arts from the French Culinary Institute, her bio on the nonprofit Concordia's official website says.

A formal personal trainer, Trump said in an interview with The Trump Organization's official website that she competes in triathlons "on a regular basis."

"Fitness has always been an important part of my life, be it competing in triathlons and marathons or using it to cope with stress," she said.

Lara Trump told "Fox & Friends" that she was "immediately intrigued" when she first met Eric Trump while out with friends in New York City.

He proposed after five years of dating, and they wed at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida.

Their dog, a beagle named Charlie, was the ring bearer at their wedding, and Ivanka Trump's husband, Jared Kushner, officiated the ceremony.

The couple lives in a $3.2 million estate in Jupiter, Florida.

Lara Trump worked as an associate producer at Inside Edition until 2016, when she left to campaign for Donald Trump.

Their son, Eric "Luke" Trump, was born in 2017. Their daughter, Carolina Dorothy Trump, followed in 2019.

In 2017, Lara Trump began hosting a weekly "Real News" show streamed through Donald Trump's official Facebook page highlighting accomplishments and activities from the president's week.

The show garnered criticism for exaggerated descriptions of even mundane presidential activities as "historic" and false claims about policies such as Republican tax-cut proposals, Salon reported. The Hollywood Reporter compared the show to "state-run" media.

Lara Trump responded to critics in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, saying, "It's not propaganda because it's true."

Lara Trump and Eric Trump adopted their first dog, Charlie, after two years of dating. They added a second beagle, Ben, to their family in 2016.

Trump also serves on the board of directors of The Big Dog Ranch Rescue in Loxahatchee Groves, Florida, the charity's official website says. Her involvement raised questions in 2021 when HuffPost reported that the organization had spent nearly $1.9 million holding events at Mar-a-Lago and Trump National Golf Club since 2014.

In a statement to the publication, The Big Dog Ranch Rescue's president, Lauree Simmons, said that events at the Trump properties have netted over $12 million for the organization.

"The sole objective of our fundraisers is to raise as much money as possible to save as many lives as possible," the charity's spokesperson, Chase Scott, told the outlet. "Politics play zero role within our organization and to infer they do does a disservice to the many who work and volunteer with a passion to heal and home our beloved dogs."

Fox News ended Lara Trump's employment in 2022 due to the network's policy of not employing those working on active political campaigns, but she still makes unpaid appearances on network shows. Eric Trump is also a regular guest on Fox News programs.

On "The Right View," which premiered in 2020, Lara Trump answers questions from listeners and discusses current events with Trump-world personalities such as My Pillow's CEO, Mike Lindell, and Chaya Raichik, the founder of Libs of TikTok.

Donald Trump endorsed his daughter-in-law as she ran for the RNC leadership role, calling her "an extremely talented communicator" who is "dedicated to all that MAGA stands for." He also threw his support behind Michael Whatley, a close ally who served as North Carolina's GOP chair.

Both handpicked candidates were elected cochairs of the RNC, putting Trump loyalists in control of the GOP's platform and funds.

After winning the 2024 election, Donald Trump named Florida Sen. Marco Rubio his nominee for Secretary of State for his forthcoming White House administration, calling him a "Highly Respected Leader, and a very powerful Voice for Freedom" in a statement.

Alabama Sen. Katie Britt and Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna called for Gov. Ron DeSantis to appoint Lara Trump to replace Rubio in the Senate.

"For me, I think she would be a tremendous pick, a voice for hard-working families and another mom of school-aged kids that understands what we're up against, and that's to fight to protect the American dream," Britt told Axios.

Lara Trump previously considered a Senate bid in North Carolina in 2022.
