A Possible Senate Run in 2026?
Lara Trump’s North Carolina roots have long made her a potential contender for a Senate seat. With incumbent Senator Thom Tillis up for re-election in 2026, many conservatives are eyeing her as a strong challenger. Tillis, who has often been criticized by Trump-aligned Republicans, played a behind-the-scenes role in attempting to derail Pete Hegseth’s confirmation as Secretary of Defense.
According to reports, Tillis collaborated with GOP Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, encouraging a sworn statement against Hegseth from his ex-sister-in-law. However, the allegations fell apart when Hegseth’s ex-wife publicly denied any claims of abuse. Eventually, Tillis not only voted to confirm Hegseth but also supported key Trump-backed nominees Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Despite these moves, Tillis remains unpopular among grassroots conservatives, and Lara Trump’s rise at Fox News may set the stage for a high-profile primary challenge in North Carolina.
