Lara Trump announced this week that she is stepping down from her role as co-chair at the Republican National Committee (RNC) because she has completed the mission she set out to achieve. “Serving as the @GOP co-chair throughout the course of the most consequential election in American history has truly been the honor of my life,” she said in a statement. Lara Trump said that the organization’s goals during the 2024 election were to surpass all fundraising records, build the largest army of lawyers and poll watchers to ensure election integrity, and turn out millions of Americans and low propensity voters during early voting. “We accomplished all three,” she said. “The job I came to do is now complete and I intend to formally step down from the RNC at our next meeting.” “Thank you to our incredible team at the RNC, our amazing @ChairmanWhatley , and, of course, thank you to President @realDonaldTrump — we are so proud of you and I’m grateful you trusted me in this position,” she added. Serving as the @GOP co-chair throughout the course of the most consequential election in American history has truly been the honor of my life. At the RNC, we had three distinct goals: 1) surpass all fundraising records 2) build the largest army of lawyers and poll watchers… pic.twitter.com/bcHdDHhwQq — Lara Trump (@LaraLeaTrump) December 9, 2024 Her decision to step down from the role comes as there has been speculation that she may want to be the replacement for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) in the U.S. Senate if Rubio is confirmed early next year to be the next Secretary of State. In a statement last week, President-elect Donald Trump threw his support behind RNC co-chair Michael Whatley to continue serving as chairman moving forward. “Michael Whatley, from the Great State of North Carolina, has been with me since the beginning, and has done an OUTSTANDING and HISTORIC JOB in running the Republican National Committee with the fantastic Lara Trump!” Trump said. “He is a smart, tough lawyer who put together a completely unprecedented ELECTION INTEGRITY OPERATION that protected the Vote all across America, and a GET OUT THE VOTE CAMPAIGN that delivered the Votes we needed in every Battleground State.” “I have asked Michael to return as Chairman of the RNC to continue to build our Party, and be a trusted partner as we Make America Great Again, and ensure Free and Fair Elections,” he continued. “Republicans everywhere should support him as he continues his mission at the RNC. Thank you for your hard work, Michael!”

Authorities are taking sightings of “very sophisticated” unidentified flying objects (UFOs) that have unnerved residents in New Jersey “deadly seriously,” Governor Phil Murphy said on Monday. Nighttime sightings that have reportedly gone on for weeks have prompted investigations, FAA flight restrictions, and 21 mayors demanding further transparency from Murphy on what is happening. “I don’t blame people for being frustrated,” Murphy told reporters, adding that officials from “all levels of government” including the FBI and Homeland Security Department are looking into the matter. NEW: Governor Phil Murphy has spoken with White House officials about the ‘very sophisticated’ drones over New Jersey. “The minute you get eyes on them, they go dark… This is something we’re taking deadly seriously.” pic.twitter.com/aS12aM693P — UAP James (@UAPJames) December 9, 2024 Last week, the FBI released a statement stating that it was seeking any information from the public on “the cluster of what look to be drones and a possible fixed wing aircraft” along the Raritan River. Murphy, a Democrat, emphasized that officials do not see anything that would warrant public safety concerns. “Having said that, it’s really frustrating that we don’t have more answers as to where they’re coming from and why they’re doing what they’re doing,” he added. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE The governor said there were 49 sightings on Sunday night, but noted he believed the figure to be inflated with a fixed-wing plane mistaken for a drone and multiple people reporting the same object. “So we think these are overstated, but it’s a non-zero number,” Murphy said. Murphy said he was involved in discussions with the White House and Homeland Security leaders “pretty much all day” on Sunday. “I’m hoping that we’ll get answers sooner than later,” he said. “I would just ask folks to continue to let the FBI or their local law enforcement know when they see something.” What people are seeing are “apparently very, as I understand it, very sophisticated. The minute you get eyes on them, they go dark,” Murphy said. “We’re obviously most concerned about sensitive targets, and sensitive critical infrastructure,” he said. “So we’ve got military assets, we’ve got utility assets, we’ve got the president-elect — one of his homes here.” Murphy was alluding to President-elect Donald Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, where “car-sized” drones have reportedly been seen nearby. “This is something we’re taking deadly seriously,” Murphy said. “We’ve gotten good cooperation out of the feds, but we need more, and that was my plea.” Murphy pledged to be transparent once he knows more. “The minute we know something, I’m not going to hide it under a bush,” he said. Murphy said he was not aware of any “nefarious drone” crashing, adding, “If there is one that’s crashed, could someone please call me and let me know where that is?” The governor did acknowledge “rumored downings,” noting that one turned out to be a toy and another was not found. “Having our hands on equipment that’s on the ground would be helpful, no question about it,” Murphy said.
