Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has chosen Attorney General Ashley Moody to replace Marco Rubio in the U.S. Senate. Rubio is set to resign soon to serve as President-elect Donald Trump’s Secretary of State.
Moody, a DeSantis ally since 2018, pledged to uphold Florida’s interests. Her selection aligns with Trump’s policies, particularly on immigration.
She will hold the seat until a 2026 special election, where she may face challengers.
