Joe Gruters, a Florida state senator and ally of Donald Trump, is actively pursuing the role of Treasurer for the Republican National Committee (RNC). Trump has officially endorsed Gruters for this position, stating that he would be a strong advocate for the MAGA movement and would ensure the RNC operates in a fiscally responsible manner. Gruters, who previously served as Chair of the Florida Republican Party, played a key role in establishing Florida as a Republican stronghold. Additionally, Gruters has expressed interest in the Florida Chief Financial Officer (CFO) role, although he acknowledged a complicated relationship with Governor Ron DeSantis. Meanwhile, another candidate has withdrawn from contention to replace Marco Rubio in the Senate, further shaping the political landscape in Florida.
