The Republican Party is waiting to see if Lara Trump will run for the North Carolina Senate seat, following Senator Thom Tillis’s announcement that he won’t seek reelection. The decision has left other potential Republican candidates in a standstill, as they wait for former President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law to make her choice.
Lara Trump, Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law through her marriage to Eric Trump, who previously considered running for the Senate four years ago, is once again at a crucial point in her political career. Her potential candidacy has frozen the field for other Republicans, with many believing she has the first right to decide whether to run or not.
