The Trump family has indicated they are open to future political runs, despite ongoing legal challenges and what they describe as "lawfare." Eric Trump and Lara Trump made these remarks during an interview aboard Air Force One with Sean Hannity on his podcast "Hanging Out with Sean Hannity." The interview occurred as they traveled with President Donald Trump to China for a summit with President Xi Jinping.
Eric Trump stated he would "never rule anything out" when asked about a potential presidential bid. He described the family's experience with legal battles, saying, "I've seen six months of courtrooms where people are trying to destroy you and your entire family." He warned that entering politics requires resilience, as opponents "are coming in ways you can't even imagine."
Lara Trump, who previously served as co-chair of the Republican National Committee and is now a Fox News host, echoed her husband's sentiments. She argued that the family has developed resilience from legal and political attacks, stating, "If you continue to beat somebody enough, you develop a thick skin." When asked about her own potential presidential run, she left the door open for the entire family, saying, "I wouldn't rule it out for anyone in the family."
The family's comments come amid ongoing legal battles, including a New York fraud case against Donald Trump, which Eric Trump defended as part of a broader campaign of "legal lawfare."
