Anyone know of any published views between the current Lt. Governor and Disney? Should Sen. Rubio become Sec. of State in January, it’s pretty likely Gov. DeSantis will appoint himself Sen. DeSantis. Might Disney’s relationship with the state improve?

Nunez? All I know is that she pretty much backs Ronnie.

I can't see him appointing himself. He'll just be one of 100 senators. And very junior.

I think that's highly unlikely. More likely is the Lt. Gov. appointed Senator. As for relations, I think we're over that hurdle. Things have settled down. Seems "business as normal" to me.

Why would he appoint her? If it's not himself, I'd think he'd want someone within his inner circle.

I'm just saying she is more likely than himself. Not that he would appoint her. If he appointed someone already in office, then provisions would have to be made to fill that vacant position. She was only "elected" as a running mate. So easier to appoint her and appoint someone else to be Lt. Gov.

He’s a term-limited governor who still sees a future POTUS in the mirror every morning. If he wants to be relevant enough to stage another campaign in 2028, he will want to be in Washington. And, if he never becomes POTUS, his “consolation” prize could be a 40-year career in the US senate since he’s still in his 40s.

I’d be surprised if he doesn’t pick himself. Politicians want long-term jobs. That’s why so many former Governors become Senators.

Based on the statement that I posted earlier I’d be very surprised if he did that. That type of statement doesn’t come out by accident or without him knowing about it.

I don't see it happening. He already made clear his finishing out his term as Governor. Besides, he's an executive. I don't think Senate is his style, although he served in the House a few terms. If he lobbies for anything it would be AG. He's well suited for that as a former JAG officer. If not, he ran for President a few months in 2023-2024 to bolster his credentials. He leaves office in January 2027 as one of the best known Governors in the nation, ready to run in 2028 for President. Disney is no longer an issue for him. He's serving out his term.

Surprising, given that he is term-limited as Governor. Unless he thinks he still has a shot at the big chair in four years' time.

That chair is now reserved for someone else.

And he's kinda term limited. The FL Constitution allows him to run again. He just has to sit out for 4 years. Thus he could run for governor again in 2030. But he's got higher ambitions.
