After steamrolling the 2024 primary, Donald Trump revamped the RNC and tasked the former television producer to help lead the party. Critics allege it was a brazenly nepotistic move. But Lara Trump has since emerged as one of the GOP’s rising stars. She’s helped the party raise hundreds of millions of dollars; played a key role in persuading Trump to embrace voting by mail, something he spurned in 2020; and delivered a keynote address at the Republican National Convention. Lara Trump’s future may only partly pivot on the election. If Trump wins, she’s expected to have a role in the Administration. Many suspect she will one day run for office herself, regardless of the outcome. Either way, Lara Trump is positioned as a prominent heir of the MAGA movement. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2024/7023529/lara-trump/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2024/7023529/lara-trump/"},"headline":"Lara Trump","datePublished":"2024-10-02T11:13:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-03T00:36:59.783Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2024/7023529/lara-trump/","keywords":["list","franchise","Magazine","TIME 100 Next","sponsorshipblock"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt998c1637e7137dff/698a5b9747ca3853833be10b/time100-next-2024-lara-trump.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eric Cortellessa"}],"creator":"Eric Cortellessa","articleSection":"World","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt998c1637e7137dff/698a5b9747ca3853833be10b/time100-next-2024-lara-trump.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/world/","name":"World"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2024/7023529/lara-trump/","name":"Lara Trump"}}]}] ```
