Lara: the succession of Donald Trump?
According to the "New York Times", Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of the former US president, could run for the US Senate in 2022 in North Carolina.
As in a family saga, Donald Trump, who has twice avoided impeachment, could politically have a succession. According to the "New York Times", Lara (thirty-eight), his daughter-in-law, wife of Eric Trump, could take over to mobilize the most loyal supporters of the former US president.
Of course, the central question is whether Donald Trump still has a political future. But the decision of current Republican Senator from North Carolina, Richard Burr, to join his voice, like six other Republicans, with those of the Democrats, to vote on Saturday for the impeachment of the former president, angered many Republicans. in his State.
Which, according to the New York daily, revived the idea of a candidacy of Lara Trump - born in Wilmington - in North Carolina in 2022, when Richard Burr will give up his seat of senator.
"My friend Richard Burr made Lara Trump almost a certain Republican candidate to take back her seat," said Republican Senator from South Carolina Lindsey Graham.
According to a source quoted by the daily, the capture of the Capitol on January 6 by pro-Trump rioters rekindled Lara's desire to get into politics as part of "a coordinated return of the Trump family."
Lara Trump, a former television producer, embarked on her stepfather's election campaigns in 2016 and 2020. But all is not won for her. Because several other potential candidates in the state could embark on the senatorial election on behalf of the Republican Party.
Moreover, it is still unclear whether Trump's name is politically devalued among the mainstream Republican base. Even if he retained his hottest supporters.
