Bonus Outtakes: DeSantis orders special election asap

Gov. Ron DeSantis posted on X: “Congratulations to the Floridians being appointed to key positions in the Trump Administration: Senator Marco Rubio, Congressman Matt Gaetz, and Congressman Mike Waltz.

I’ve instructed Secretary of State Cord Byrd to formulate and announce a schedule for the upcoming special elections immediately.”


Florida Politics has suggested a few more candidates for Matt’s seat:

D.C. Reeves is another name to watch. As the current Pensacola Mayor, he would bring a strong name ID within that city. But sources tell Florida Politics he might have trouble gaining traction in a GOP Primary — which would likely be the ultimate decider in the race — given Reeves’ past support for Democrats. He’s also new to his term and likes the job. But as a Mayor whose star is on the rise, he’s a name worth watching.

The website also suggested State Reps. Shane Abbott, Alex Andrade, and Joel Rudman.
