Trump Endorses Lara Trump for NC Senate Seat

News summary

Former President Donald Trump has endorsed his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, as his preferred candidate to replace retiring Senator Thom Tillis for North Carolina's Senate seat in 2026. Trump praised Lara Trump's local roots, her role as co-chair of the Republican National Committee, and her media presence, while noting her current Florida residency and the need to address potential eligibility issues. Trump indicated he has not yet spoken with Lara Trump about a Senate run, saying it is too early for such a discussion. Senator Tillis recently announced his decision not to seek reelection, citing a desire to spend more time with his family. The Senate seat is expected to be highly competitive, and Lara Trump is seen as a prominent possible contender, though other Republicans may enter the race. Legal experts note she would need to establish North Carolina residency soon to qualify for the 2026 ballot.
