DeSantis to Appoint Rubio's Senate Replacement, Eyes 2026 Run as Rubio Becomes Secretary of State
Nov 12, 2024, 01:44 AM
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is expected to appoint a replacement for Senator Marco Rubio, who is likely to be confirmed as Secretary of State in the Trump administration. Potential candidates for the Senate seat include Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nuñez, Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, former Florida House Speaker Jose Oliva, and DeSantis' chief of staff James Uthmeier. DeSantis himself is anticipated to run for the Senate seat in 2026 after his gubernatorial term ends. This follows a historical precedent set by Governor Charlie Crist in 2009, who appointed his former chief of staff to a Senate seat. Mike Waltz is expected to be named National Security Advisor, and Byron Donalds is considered a favorite for the Florida gubernatorial nomination.
