“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) intends to hold interviews and “extensive vetting” to help him decide who should replace Marco Rubio in the Senate,” Politico reports.
“The person he picks will remain in the role until at least 2026, which is when a special election to finish the final two years of Rubio’s term would be held. There would then be a regularly scheduled election in 2028 for a full term.”
