Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is under pressure from President-elect Donald Trump and his political future.

The conflict was triggered when Trump nominated Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) as secretary of State .

Lara Trump , his daughter-in-law and current Republican National Committee co-chair, instantly emerged as his replacement.

No Florida law prohibits the governor from appointing himself, but appointing himself would be risky.

DeSantis knows this two-year Senate appointment reflects an ongoing battle with Trump forces working against his future.

He can do what is best for himself, or he can acquiesce to Team Trump’s pressure campaign.
