Summary

Nutrition label

71% Informative

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has reportedly been approached by President-elect Donald Trump about picking his daughter-in-law Lara Trump for a Senate seat.

Ruben Navarrette : The easy call would seem to be giving Trump what he wants, but it could look like a quid pro quo in which Trump would have exchanged something for the appointment.

Ruben Navarrette : It might be smart to appoint Lara Trump , but it surely wouldn’t look like strength.

He says DeSantis has shown at least a little pride when it comes to Trump ; he endorsed him but criticized Trump 's campaign.

The appointee will have to run for reelection in both 2026 and 2028 ; she could also potentially face a primary against some of the ambitious pols who would have been passed over for her.
