A vacancy is expected to arise in January when Republican Senator Marco Rubio is appointed as Secretary of State in the Trump administration. As Eric Trump&#8217;s wife and a potential candidate for the position, she commented on speculation during an interview with WABC hosts John Catsimatidis and Rita Cosby, stating that it ultimately depends on Governor DeSantis and that she hasn&#8217;t yet discussed the vacancy with him. She emphasized her deep understanding of the Make America Great Again agenda from her nine years alongside Donald Trump and mentioned her honor in serving as RNC co-chair throughout his campaign. If asked to serve in the Senate, she would seriously consider it, highlighting the need for strong senators to support Trump&#8217;s appointments and advance his agenda based on what Americans want\u2014such as closed borders and no new wars. Governor DeSantis confirmed Rubio&#8217;s expected resignation around January 20th when he takes office as Secretary of State, creating a vacancy for which several candidates are already being considered. DeSantis outlined his criteria for selecting a replacement who aligns with conservative principles and can effectively support President Trump&#8217;s goals until a special election in 2026 determines who will complete Rubio&#8217;s term ending in 2028.
