Lara Trump believes the Republican Party has moved on from questioning the 2020 presidential election, as she mentioned in an interview with NBC News on Tuesday. This is despite the ongoing efforts of her father-in-law, former President Donald Trump, who claims without evidence that he lost due to election fraud.
She stated in the interview," I think that’s in the past. We learned a lot and took many notes." in the interview. "The past is the past, and unfortunately, we had to learn a couple of hard lessons in 2020. Believe me, we are taking those, we are applying them all across this country in every single state and we want to ensure that indeed, every single legal vote was counted," she continued.
Just weeks into her new role at the RNC, Lara Trump’s comments signal a change in the GOP. The RNC
let go of more than 60 people in early March, including senior staff. In the interview with NBC, Lara Trump mentioned that they addressed staffing that the party “probably didn’t need there.” Regarding former President Trump as the only remaining GOP presidential candidate for the November election, Lara Trump noted that the RNC is focused on encouraging Republican voters to embrace new voting ideas, even those previously criticized by her father-in-law.

Lara Trump stated that the RNC will not cover his legal bills. She then appealed to Republican voters, asking them to trust her to utilize their donations appropriately.
“Trust me, I am the daughter-in-law of Donald Trump, I will ensure that every penny of every dollar is going to causes that Republican voters care about,” she said. “We want to of course elect Donald Trump at the top of the ticket, and then, of course, Republicans all the way down.”
