Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is in the process of considering candidates to fill the U.S. Senate seat that will be vacated by Senator Marco Rubio, who is expected to resign to serve as Secretary of State in the incoming Trump administration. Governor DeSantis has indicated that a decision on the appointment is likely to be made by early January.
The governor's office has already begun vetting potential candidates for the Senate seat. Several individuals have expressed interest in the position, and additional names are being gathered for consideration. More extensive vetting and candidate interviews will take place in the coming weeks.
