Gov DeSantis explains what he’s doing to replace Senator Marco Rubio when he resigns from the Senate

by The Right Scoop

Governor DeSantis tweeted this morning to explain what he’s doing to replace Senator Marco Rubio when he resigns from the Senate to pursue the job of Secretary of State for the incoming Trump administration.

Here’s what he said:

Senator Marco Rubio is expected to resign from the Senate to assume duties as Secretary of State when the Trump administration takes power on January 20th, creating a vacancy roughly two months from today.

We have already received strong interest from several possible candidates, and we continue to gather names of additional candidates and conduct preliminary vetting. More extensive vetting and candidate interviews will be conducted over the next few weeks, with a selection likely made by the beginning of January.

Florida deserves a Senator who will help President Trump deliver on his election mandate, be strong on immigration and border security, take on the entrenched bureaucracy and administrative state, reverse the nation’s fiscal decline, be animated by conservative principles, and has a proven record of results.

There’s not a soul I would trust more to replace Rubio than Governor DeSantis. He’s as conservative as it gets and he’ll pick someone who Floridian’s can trust to stand up for conservative values and for the state.

That being said, Senator Rick Scott just endorsed Lara Trump for the job but I don’t believe she’s someone DeSantis is considering. At least I hope not.
