Lara Trump will step down as co-chair of the Republican National Committee as she considers a number of potential options with her father-in-law, President-elect Donald Trump, returning to the White House.

Among those possibilities is replacing Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who has been nominated as the next secretary of state. If Mr Rubio is confirmed, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will choose who takes the seat through the remainder of his term, which expires in 2026.
