Eric Trump, son of President Donald Trump, hinted that he may wade into the political world after all, Newsmax reported. The president has long speculated about the prospect of his adult children joining him in Washington, D.C.
Donald Trump was named Time’s Person of the Year and sat for an interview in December. When asked about whether his children would follow suit, the then-president-elect said that Eric Trump was a possible contender.
“Eric is very capable, and a very different type [than Don Jr.],” Trump said of his middle son. Now, Eric Trump is also indicating it may be the next move for him.

Big Decision
Eric Trump seems to be mulling the possibility, but isn’t taking it lightly. In an interview with Financial Times, Eric Trump said that a foray into politics “would be an easy one” considering his father’s clout.
“The real question is: ‘Do you want to drag other members of your family into it?'” Eric Trump posited. He acknowledged that the prospect of a political dynasty for his family comes with many pitfalls.
“Would I want my kids to live the same experience over the last decade that I’ve lived? You know, if the answer was yes, I think the political path would be an easy one — meaning, I think I could do it,” the 41-year-old said.
“And by the way, I think other members of our family could do it too,” he added. Donald Trump’s other children have been tangentially involved in his political career, including his daughter Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, who served in his administration.
Donald Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., has also been involved in the political world. However, it is Eric Trump and his wife, Lara Trump, who seem the most enthusiastic about a political future.
Perfectly Situated
It seems Eric and Lara Trump are well-positioned for a transition into a formal political role. Lara Trump is the co-chair of the Republican National Committee and helped get her father-in-law elected to the White House.
According to the Associated Press, she stepped down from that role in December and left open the possibility of running for office to replace Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida. His seat will up for a vote in the 2026 election season.
“It is something I would seriously consider. If I’m being completely transparent, I don’t know exactly what that would look like,” Lara Trump told the AP at the time.
“And I certainly want to get all of the information possible if that is something that’s real for me. But yeah, I would 100% consider it,” she added.
President Donald Trump has crafted an impressive political career and overcame numerous obstacles to achieve it. Now, his children can benefit from their father’s success, as long as they’re willing to endure the hardships that come with it.
