Lara Trump, the former president’s daughter-in-law and co-chair of the Republican National Committee, delivered a heartfelt address to the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, filling the void left by Ivanka Trump’s absence. Speaking as a personal witness to Donald Trump’s character, Lara Trump highlighted her father-in-law’s dedication to his family and country.
“When I look at Donald Trump, I see a wonderful father, father-in-law, and grandfather to my two young children,” Lara Trump said. “It’s through that lens that we sometimes wish more people could see this is a man who has sacrificed for his family and a man who has truly sacrificed for his country.”
Lara Trump’s testimony was marked by her deep affection for her father-in-law, whom she described as a resilient and selfless individual. She recalled the recent assassination attempt on his life, saying it was “terrifying” and left her feeling like “an eternity” had passed. She also defended Trump’s decision to encourage the crowd to “fight, fight, fight” after the attempt, saying it was a message of defiance and resilience.
Lara Trump’s remarks concluded the second night of the Republican convention, which focused on safety and unity. The event featured appearances from former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL).
