\u201cToday I am proud to announce that I am selecting our attorney general, Ashley Moody, to serve as our next U.S. senator,\u201d DeSantis said at a news conference in Orlando.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are always significant appointments, but I think right now appointments like these are more significant than ever,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a time for action and a time for Washington, D.C., to deliver results for the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moody, 49, has served as Florida\u2019s attorney general since 2019 and will likely be a trusted conservative in the Senate.<\/p>\n

According to Florida law, vacant Senate seats are filled by the governor, who appoints a replacement to serve until the next statewide election.<\/p>\n

With DeSantis\u2019 appointment, Moody is expected to occupy the seat until a special election takes place in 2026.<\/p>\n

The winner of that election will serve the remainder of Rubio\u2019s term, requiring them to run for reelection again in 2028.<\/p>\n

The announcement ends months of speculation over who DeSantis might choose to fill the seat.<\/p>\n

One of the names suggested was Donald Trump\u2019s daughter-in-law, who most recently served as the co-chair of the Republican National Committee.<\/p>\n

However, she announced last month that she was no longer in the running.<\/p>\n

Other candidates who were considered by DeSantis included his chief of staff, James Uthmeier; Florida Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nunez; and former Florida House Speaker Jose Olivia.<\/p>\n

Attorney General Moody is a \u2018tough on crime\u2019 \u2013 \u2018no nonsense\u2019 Republican Attorney General.<\/p>\n
