US: DeSantis Picks FL. AG Moody To Fill Rubio's Senate Seat

USHomepagemarkets-real-timePolitical RiskPolitical Risk BulletBulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange BulletsNorth America

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has confirmed the state's Attorney General Ashley Moody as his pick to fill the US Senate seat vacated by President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

  •  Chad Pergram at Fox News says the selection of Moody "addresses a combination of other issues in Florida [...] the appointment of Moody would clear the field for Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) to run for Governor. Fox is told that Moody has tinkered with running for governor. [...] Also, Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) has been interested in the Senate seat. But appointing Mills to the Senate seat creates another vacancy in the House – which Republicans ABSOLUTELY CANNOT HANDLE considering how narrow the majority is."
  • Axios reports "Moody is a DeSantis and Donald Trump loyalist." Moody succeded US AG nominee Pam Bondi as Florida AG in 2019, having previously sat as a judge on the state's 13th circuit court for 10 years.
