Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced his intention to appoint Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody to the Senate once Senator Marco Rubio resigns. Rubio is expected to be confirmed as President-elect Donald Trump's Secretary of State after the inauguration.
Ashley Moody has been a close ally of Governor DeSantis in the state of Florida. The two have worked together to advance the governor's agenda since DeSantis took office.
During a press conference in Florida, Governor DeSantis commended Moody for her efforts in addressing issues such as illegal immigration and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Moody's track record in tackling these key issues has earned her recognition and respect within the state.
