Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has yet to appoint a replacement for Sen. Marco Rubio—pending Senate approval of Rubio’s nomination as secretary of state—and it seems unlikely that the appointee will be chosen from the House of Representatives.
Speculation over that appointee has continued to swirl, with names like Rep. Cory Mills being thrown in the air. The governor confirmed he spoke to Mills about the vacancy, but he appeared to signal in a Jan. 13 press conference that he was unlikely to appoint any current congresspersons considering the slim Republican majority in the House.
