With Senator Marco Rubio all but assured of being confirmed by the U.S. Senate as the next Secretary of State, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been tasked with finding the senior senator’s replacement, the search for the next senator from Florida may start and end in the Cabinet with Attorney General Ashley Moody.

It appears as if Moody is Gov. DeSantis’s likely choice to replace Senator Rubio, but other names are being floated as being on his very short list of possible replacements.

Lt. Governor Jeanette Nunez and DeSantis’ Chief of Staff are considered second and third choices, respectively.

To be clear, Moody is the likely pick, but not the definite choice.

Even though lawmakers like Senator Rick Scott and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, have expressed their support for her senatorial aspirations, one thing is for certain: Lara Trump will most likely not be chosen to replace Sen. Rubio.
