Lara Trump Says Political Future Could Extend Beyond Donald Trump
Lara Trump has hinted that the Trump family may remain involved in American politics beyond Donald Trump. Lara Trump claimed on Miranda Devine’s “Pod Force One” podcast that she and her family may pursue political careers.
She admitted that several Trump family members may be interested in running for president or Congress. She said critics may fiercely oppose the notion, but if the moment is right, it can happen. Her statements reflect persistent discussion about whether the Trump political brand could become a family business.
Eric Trump’s wife, Lara Trump, said she pondered running for the Senate. She mentioned North Carolina, where she considered running in 2022 and before the midterms. She considered running for Senate in Florida after moving there with her family. However, she stressed that no decision has been taken.
She discussed her father-in-law’s political career over the past decade in the podcast. Witnessing his impact on followers nationwide has motivated her, she says. He has encountered hurdles and fierce criticism, but she believes public service may produce significant change. This event has motivated her and her family to consider their political roles, she said.
Lara Trump said Donald Trump has been very supportive of her Senate candidacy. She said he encouraged her and connected her with people from different backgrounds who thought she would do well in office. She considered him one of her strongest campaign supporters.
Meanwhile, neither Eric Trump nor Donald Trump Jr. has declared a presidential or federal office bid. In previous interviews, both have left the door open. Donald Trump Jr. has said he wants to serve in public and believes his father turned the Republican Party into an America First movement. Eric Trump has also suggested that a sustained family involvement in politics is possible, but he admitted that such decisions include substantial personal considerations.
Donald Trump has officially proposed a 2028 national ticket with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Though hypothetical, those sentiments reflect Republican discussions about the party’s future beyond Trump.
American politics has always discussed familial dynasties, say observers. Political power has crossed generations, from the Kennedys to the Bushes. Electoral timing, voter emotion, and Republican Party strategy will determine if the Trump family follows suit.
To date, Lara Trump has not made a formal statement. She stated that she would “never say never,” but that any decision would rely on the perfect moment and opportunity. Her comments continue the discussion regarding Trump’s political prospects beyond him.
Voters and party leaders will monitor the 2026 and 2028 elections. While no campaigns have been formed, the idea of Trump family engagement in American politics keeps them in the spotlight.
