Another morning, another suggestion that Republican National Committee co-Chair Lara Trump should be Gov. Ron DeSantis‘ pick to replace Marco Rubio in the Senate.
This one comes from Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” where Donald Trump Jr. says his sister-in-law has the right stuff for the appointment.
“I think it’d be great. I think she understands our base; she understands the movement. Uh, you see what’s going on in Florida. I mean, it is a solid red state. We’ve flipped counties that we lost by 30 and 40 points back in 2016, and they’re now positive for Trump. Miami Dade, we went from minus 30 to plus 10 Republican. I mean, I think that’s a mandate if I’ve ever seen one,” the President-elect’s namesake son said.
DeSantis has not commented on the consistent media campaign from Trump World, nor has he responded to our questions about his intentions.
But this is the second time this weekend (so far) that Trump’s Senate hopes have been trumpeted on Fox News.
“If I am tapped to serve in another capacity, it truly would be my honor. I think it would be great to have another young mom alongside Katie Britt there in the United States Senate. I have not been asked yet, but I certainly would strongly consider it if it is presented to me,” she said Saturday.
The comments came after another appearance on Fox this week, during which Trump said she would “love” to be appointed Senator.
Additionally, Sen. Rick Scott is a fan of Trump’s selection. But the former Governor and the current one have not had the strongest relationships over the last six years.
Expect more on this, with Lara’s husband, Eric Trump, booked for “Life, Liberty, Levin” on Sunday night on the same channel.

How about someone from FLORIDA to represent FLORIDA, eh? (Even some redneck apparatchik from East Orange Peel FL would be better than this one).

Not only a lame duck, but Dee will have even more of Trump’s unpleasant bullying for the next two or more years.
Will Dee give in and roll over as Mike Johnson already has done — or will he try to maintain his Man Card (issued by the NRA) by dragging his heels?

DeSantis is just fine. He is an ex officer and won’t be easily intimidated. By the way I’m thinking DeSantis might have is eye on that job as well in two years. If he wants, it probably is his.

“DeSantis might have [h]is eye on that job as well in two years. If he wants, ”
Well first of all, duh. But with Rubio still in that senate seat, that would be a big pipe dream (DeSantis primarying Rubio? Wouldn’t see it going DeSantis’ way).
But sure, if DeSantis can put any lame ducky type of placeholder in, he could position himself better for the 2026 senate seat race.
Lara Trump fits that bill for sure. So could a number of other people. Hell, at this point I don’t discount the idea that SoS Rubio will quit in two years to run for the seat again.

Well duh. I hope you are aware that seat is no longer Rubio’s if he gets confirmed. Of course he could run a gain later.

The intelligent Florida voter selected “I will end inflation immediately by imposing tariffs” Trump, they previously selected “I will tell you what you can read, what you can smoke and when you can terminate your pregnancy” DeSantis, so they might as well have the trifecta of self-interested Senators representation as well.

Governor DeSantis will not appoint a nepotic carpetbagger from North Carolina to represent Floridians and the free state of Florida in the United States Senate. PERIOD!
Trump did not make Florida red with supermajorities in both the Florida Senate and the Florida House of Representatives. America’s Governor did. PERIOD!
