Trump's Cabinet moves hand Ron DeSantis a gift — but possibly with strings attached

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has the ability to unilaterally appoint the person who would fill a vacant Senate seat.

Rubio 's expected nomination of Rubio to lead the State Department may come into play.

Trump could still change his mind, cautioned three sources familiar with the selection process.

But if Rubio 's Senate seat becomes open, there is at least some pressure from Trump ’s team to appoint Lara Trump .

DeSantis fired his campaign manager, Susie Wiles , who has since become a mainstay in Trump ’s political operation and will serve as his chief of staff.

Wiles still has bad blood, which left some to posit she did not hand him a Senate appointment without a plan.

“My sense is they have a plan for the Florida angle,” said a longtime Florida operative.
