The Intersection Of DeSantis And Trump In The Republic Of Florida

Except for a few pockets in the southern part of the state on both coasts, Florida is a deep red state. With Marco Rubio heading the new State Department, Ron DeSantis is charged with appointing a fill in senator. 

Raising her hand for the position is Lara Trump, Donald's daughter-in-law. Some may remember that Ron DeSantis himself had visions of sitting behind the desk in the oval office. For most presidents, recommending their daughter-in-law would be too embarrassing. However, we all know that Trump is not encumbered by modesty. He is not overburdened with humility. 

As governor and former candidate himself, DeSantis has his own list from which to choose an appointee. With Trump now limited to one term, and J.D. Vance having a foot up for 2028,  DeSantis might assert himself early by denying Lara the spot. On the other hand and in Florida, there's always another hurricane on the doorstep... President Trump will be directing FEMA. What's a governor to do?
