Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been reportedly considering appointing Lara, among other candidates, to fill the state's senate seat after Trump announced that Senator.
On Wednesday, Lara host Sean Hannity that she "would love to consider" filling the seat if she were asked.
Critics have argued that Lara – who is married to Trump's son Eric – has no notable experience to fill the role.
She faced similar criticisms earlier this year when Trump helped get her nominated as co-chair of the Republican National Committee, a role seemingly given to her strictly based on nepotism.
A handful of MAGA allies have expressed support for Lara filling the seat. South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham told Hannity that he would be "over-the-top excited" for Lara to be chosen, as he believes Republicans "could not do better" than her.
In a recent interview with , Alabama Senator Katie Britt said Lara would be a "tremendous pick" as she would be "a voice for hard-working families and another mom of school aged kids that understands what we're up against."
Florida Senator Rick Scott also gushed over a potential Lara Trump appointment, on X that he believes she would be "great" for Floridians.
