Trump is asked if he expects Ron to appoint Lara to Rubio’s seat
When asked during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago on Monday whether he expected DeSantis, 46, to pick her, Trump, 78, responded, “No, I don’t.”
Last month, the president-elect tapped Sen. Marco Rubio as his secretary of state designee, prompting speculation that his daughter-in-law could fill the vacant Senate seat. 16-year-old kills entire family and then calls 911 to drunkenly confess to quadruple homicide: policeThe president-elect has heaped praise on his daughter-in-law but indicated he wasn’t inclined to intervene in Ron DeSantis’ decision for US senator.The president-elect rejected suggestions that the move was nepotism, arguing that RNC top brass was impressed with her.
DeSantis is term-limited and can’t run for reelection in 2026. Some observers have speculated that he could name a loyalist to fill the seat temporarily as a caretaker in order to keep it open for him to pursue without an incumbent.
