Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed state Attorney General Ashley Moody to the U.S. Senate on Thursday, setting her up to fill the seat of Sen. Marco Rubio, whom President-elect Donald Trump tapped to be secretary of state.
Moody, a fifth-generation Floridian and former federal prosecutor, is no stranger to the DeSantis administration. She has built her career as being instrumental in defending the MAGA agenda he and Trump champion in the state and challenging several Biden administration's policies.
