Ron DeSantis slows the process to fill Marco Rubio's Senate seat as pressure grows from Trump world

Consideration centers on whether to appoint Lara Trump to fill the Senate seat being left by Rubio, who has been tapped for secretary of state, but other names are on the shortlist.

Summary

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is delaying his decision to fill Marco Rubio’s Senate seat, vacated due to Rubio’s appointment as Secretary of State under Trump.

DeSantis is conducting a thorough vetting process and is not considering a placeholder or appointing himself.

Trump allies, including Lara Trump, are lobbying for her to take the seat, complicating DeSantis’ decision given their tense political history.

Other potential candidates include Florida officials like Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez and Attorney General Ashley Moody. DeSantis’ decision could influence his 2028 presidential ambitions.
