While some speculate that Florida’s current Attorney General may be in Gov. Ron DeSantis’ Senate appointment mix, a previous AG has a different idea.
Pam Bondi is advocating for Republican National Committee (RNC) Co-Chair Lara Trump to be the replacement for U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, who will be President-elect Donald Trump’s Secretary of State if he is confirmed by the Senate.
“I don’t know who the front-runner is, but I know who’s extremely qualified, and that’s Lara Trump,” Bondi said. “I know her very well. She is a proven leader. I worked with her and Mike Whatley on the RNC. They helped stop this voter fraud throughout the country. They got the vote out, they protected the vote. No one works as hard as Lara Trump.”
Bondi has been central to the Trump political operation since leaving office at the end of 2018. Regarding Lara Trump, Bondi added that she “can’t be objective because she’s also my friend.”
“She’s a mom, she’s a great wife and she would be a tremendous leader for the state of Florida and we’re blessed to have Lara in our state with us.”
DeSantis has said that he is vetting candidates with an eye toward an eventual selection before the second Donald Trump term begins in January.
It is unclear if DeSantis has talked to Lara Trump yet, but she has been very direct in saying she wants the appointment during appearances 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 on Saturday.
Those comments came after another appearance on Fox last week, during which Trump said she would “love” to be appointed Senator.
Others linked to Trump World have advocated for the appointment, including U.S. Sen. Rick Scott and Donald Trump Jr.

Desantis has several choices:
1. Appoint someone who will step down so he can run later.
2. Cave in to the Trump cult and put a moron in the senate.
3. Pull a Blagojevic and sell the position.
4. Do what’s best for Florida and appoint someone qualified.

You lost the popular vote so you are the cultists. Do you think your pathetic little post is going to change anything? It won’t because you are nothing!

You are actually THE single dumbest poster on FP. Quite an achievement considering Earl’s constant attempts to bring down the collective IQ here.

Now that’s funny Joe! Re EP.
DeSantis will look for a person possessing fortitude and a proven conservative *record, not only fiscally (or organizationally) but a true believer who is unapologetically pro-life; someone who is Reaganesqe- analogous to a political 3 legged stool but with a America 1st vision V an interventionist. Peace through strength and person who is undaunted – guided by principle and God’s will not man’s.

She’s a mom, she’s a great wife..
Pam Bondi, dog stealer, says that’s all it takes?
How about selecting someone with credentials closer to Rubio’s? That’s what the people voted for, not Lara, I’m not even a Trump, Trump!

SENATE VACANCY: APPOINT A LIBERTARIAN
In addition to all of the usual suspects, the Governor should consider appointing a Libertarian to fill the upcoming vacancy in the US Senate. My Party (the Libertarian Party of Florida) offered a nominee this Fall, Feena Bonoan. She should definitely be looked at.
Libertarians offer a fresh perspective on the uses of governmental power, where “freedom” is always the default choice. The actual use of the coercive powers of government is a desperate last choice, only used in extremis. This viewpoint should certainly be seated at the table in Washington. It should be Florida’s contribution to the ongoing dialogue on this important question.
Frankly, I suspect that the Governor’s priorities may well lie elsewhere. He will probably appoint some deserving apparatchik. However — to be complete and thorough about all this — he should at least “inventory all the possibilities” before making a final decision. That would include Feena.
Thank you.

America’s Governor, Ron DeSantis, will NEVER appoint a nepotic carpetbagger from North Carolina to represent Floridians and the free state of Florida in the United States Senate. PERIOD!
He’s the most principled conservative leader in a generation and the most effective Florida governor ever. It explains why we Floridians re-elected him to a 2nd term in the greatest landslide in the history of modern Florida politics. Trump hates him. Rick Scott hates him. Marco Rubio hates him. However, the people of Florida love Ron and Casey DeSantis.

Bondi is a rank opportunist, content to stay in the background and collect a fat salary for doing the dirty MAGA work.

If DeSantis appoints Lara Trump to the Senate he will score points w Trump, and he could get a plumb job in the Administration but no guarantee of that. However Trump would show his gratitude in some way to be sure, knowing that DeSantis could appoint his wife as a placeholder for himself.
