Gov. Ron DeSantis never had to say whether or not he wanted to endorse former Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump for Senate.
On Saturday, she said she no longer was interested in the appointment to replace Secretary of State nominee Marco Rubio.
“After an incredible amount of thought, contemplation, and encouragement from so many, I have decided to remove my name from consideration for the United States Senate,” Trump posted to X, going on to “wish Governor DeSantis the best of luck with this appointment.”
Lara Trump’s disavowal of previous interest in the job, which DeSantis is expected to fill in the coming weeks, comes after President-elect Donald Trump downplayed the possibility of her appointment.
“I probably don’t (expect it), but I don’t know. Ron’s doing a good job and it’s his choice. Nothing to do with me,” President-elect Trump told reporters in Palm Beach on Monday.
She previously insisted she would be “honored” to serve and would “love” to be Senator, noting that she’d lived in Florida for the last three and a half years as proof that she knows the state, and crediting DeSantis with her being in Florida to begin with.
With the President-elect’s daughter-in-law no longer an option, speculation returns to familiar quantities in Florida. These include First Lady Casey DeSantis, Attorney General Ashley Moody, DeSantis’ Chief of Staff James Uthmeier, former House Speaker Jose Oliva, and Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nunez, among others.

What are the odds DeSantis appoints himself; especially, since he didn’t get the Secretary of Defense position?

It’s his call and he would make an excellent US Senator.

Ronnie D either appoints himself or a caretaker who he can guarantee will step aside when 2026 rolls around.
Separately, President Musk is 0-3 now — no Matt Gaetz, no lifting of the debt ceiling, no Lara Trump.
