DeSantis Delays Rubio Senate Replacement Decision to January

Lara Trump, co-chair of the Republican National Committee, stated she has not discussed with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis the possibility of filling Senator Marco Rubio's seat, following Rubio's selection as Secretary of State in President-elect Trump's administration. While acknowledging her familiarity with Florida and openness to serving in the Senate, Trump emphasized that the decision rests with DeSantis. DeSantis had earlier posted about the need for a senator aligned with Trump's agenda.
