President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet appointments have incited job shuffling, with Republicans clamoring to climb up to higher roles. The latest to clinch a promotion could be Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump.

In an interview with Axios, Alabama Republican Sen. Katie Britt lobbied for Lara, who currently serves as RNC co-chair, to fill Marco Rubio’s soon-to-be vacant Senate seat—if Trump does indeed select him as secretary of state in his administration.

According to Britt, Lara understands the ”agenda.”

“She understands the America First agenda,” she added. “For me, I think she would be a tremendous pick, a voice for hard working families and another mom of school aged kids that understands what we’re up against, and that’s to fight to protect the American dream.”

Adding to that, Lara “just got off a historic win,” said Britt, referring to Lara’s role in delivering more MAGA-leaning votes with the help of her BFF Scott Presler.

Lara has not officially spoken about the public support. Yet as these things typically go, no one who wants it says that they want it.
