Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has appointed Attorney General Ashley Moody to fill Senator Marco Rubio's vacated seat, following Rubio's nomination as Trump's Secretary of State.
After months of speculation, including potential candidates being pressured by the Trump administration, DeSantis has made his choice clear with this appointment.
Marco Rubio, first elected to the Senate in 2010, is perceived as an agreeable choice for the role of Secretary of State, which should ease his confirmation process.
DeSantis's appointment of Moody is temporary; a special election is set for 2026, which adds a layer of strategic importance to this decision.
