A growing pressure campaign is urging Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to appoint Lara Trump to the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Marco Rubio, who is expected to be confirmed as Secretary of State. Sources indicate that DeSantis is facing significant influence from MAGA supporters, including prominent figures within the Republican Party. Senator Rick Scott, who has had a contentious relationship with DeSantis, has publicly voiced his support for Lara Trump’s appointment. This development signals that the push for her nomination is intensifying, despite the fact that Donald Trump has not yet announced her nomination. DeSantis is currently in Italy as the campaign unfolds.
