Lara Trump's rise to power reignites debate of nepotism
Lara's controversial rise to power has reignited the long-standing debate surrounding nepotism within the Trump political sphere. During his presidency, Donald faced criticism for appointing his daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner to senior advisory roles, despite their lack of political experience.
Kushner's involvement in Middle East foreign relations and his subsequent $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund after Donald left office further fueled accusations of conflicts of interest and nepotism.
As Lara vows to use "every single penny" of the RNC's resources toward her father-in-law's presidential campaign, concerns over nepotism and cronyism within the Republican Party continue to mount.
