Lara Trump was floated as a potential 'first woman president' in Washington this week, after Fox News host Sean Hannity pressed her on whether she might run for the White House in 2028 to succeed Donald Trump.
Renewed speculation over Lara's political future followed her unusually prominent role on the world stage. The 43-year-old accompanied the US president to China from 13 to 15 May, effectively standing in for First Lady Melania Trump during a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. Travelling alongside her husband, Eric Trump, she was photographed at key events throughout the three-day visit, prompting fresh questions about how far the Trump family's political dynasty might extend.
