President Trump’s son Eric has suggested he may run for office and his family could become America’s next political dynasty.
In an interview with The Financial Times, Eric Trump said both he and other members of his family could easily pursue a political career if they wish to do so.
The real question is: ‘Do you want to drag other members of your family into it?’” Eric said.
“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.”
“And by the way, I think other members of our family could do it too.”
The 41-year-old said he remained “wholly unimpressed by half the politicians I see” and argued he “could do it very effectively”.
“I don’t know ,” he said when asked directly about his ambitions. “ Time will tell. But there’s more people than just me.”
“The question is, do you want to do it? And do you want to subject the people that you love to the brutality of this system? And I’m not sure if I can answer that question yet.”

The most likely other family member to pursue a political career would be Eric’s older brother Don Jr., who is even being floated as a potential 2028 presidential nominee.
However, the most likely contenders remain Vice-President J.D. Vance and Secretary fo State Marco Rubio.
Other Trump family members interested in running may include his daughters Ivanaka and Tiffany.
The president’s youngest son Barron is also said to be heavily interested in politics and prvately helped his father connect with younger voters during his presidential campaign.
Meanwhile, Eric’s wife Lara is heavily involved in the Republican Party and publicly expressed interest in being appointed to Florida’s vacant Senate seat after Rubio was nominated to the role.
However, Lara eventually opted to take herself out of contention, leading Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to appoint Attorney General Ashley Moody to the position.
