Lara Trump is ready and willing to join the U.S. Senate if called, she told Fox News’s Sean Hannity on Wednesday.
The co-chair of the Republican National Committee and daughter-in-law to Donald Trump has been floated by Florida Sen. Rick Scott as a potential replacement for Sen. Marco Rubio following his nomination earlier this week to serve as Donald Trump’s Secretary of State.
Lara Trump said the opportunity to join the Senate would be "incredible."
“If I am able to serve, I would love to be able to serve the people of Florida,” Lara Trump said, noting that she hasn’t yet been asked to take the role. “No one knows better than I do the America First agenda or the goals of Donald Trump in the coming four years,” she added.

I was thinking the House seat vacated by the pedophile. 
Would there be a special election at some point? It's a six year term, I don't think a full term would be covered by a governor's appointee.
But it's Florida so I could be wrong.
Coffee's kicking in now, I forgot when his term was up... too!
Eek, more coffee!
even though I *did* donate to Val when she was running for the seat! Wasn't sure if it was 2020 or 2022!! 
But the appointment of Gillibrand to replace Senator Clinton, who was appointed Secretary of State by President Obama, required no Special Election. 
it is sometimes associated with specific "timing" - if the resignation happens "within x days of a general election, then...'Y', otherwise,... 'Z'".
E.g., if someone resigned "early" - a couple months before a general election (instead of finishing the term like what happened in NJ with Menendez, who had been up for reelection but decided not to run), then there wasn't a need for a Special Election to replace that seat, and the person who was appointed would be simply serving out the rest of the term until the newly-elected person takes over in January!
So in February, Scott Murphy was nominated to run as the Democrat in a Special Election to replace Gillibrand. That was the campaign I worked on. He won and was sworn in on April 29. I looked him up to remember the dates and the article said he voted for the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). Wish we still had him today. *sigh*
while she was still in the Senate, she HAD to "resign" (plus she had just been elected in 2006, so that term wasn't up until 2012). 
Clinton Resigns Senate Seat
What happened "after" would have been up to the state with respect to timing of appointments and Special Elections.
Obviously, I was guessing!

... If her appointment would ruin her musical career. 
She'll lose her job as Chump's Handmaiden at the RNC.
But Lara will only get a short stint as an appointed Senator from Florida. After Florida has a special election, maybe the Dems will gain another seat. By then there should be a huge backlash against anyone with the same name as Chump.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck you Lara Trump! And fuck you Fox News!
