Florida officials are likely to hold two special elections to replace a pair of congressmen and Gov. Ron DeSantis will name a successor to Republican U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio.

President-elect Donald Trump picked Rubio to be secretary of state, US Rep. Matt Gaetz to be attorney general, and US Rep. Mike Waltz to be Trump’s national security adviser.

Rubio and Gaetz will require Senate approval. Gaetz already has resigned his seat.

“Congratulations to the Floridians appointed to key positions in the Trump administration: Senator Marco Rubio, Congressman Matt Gaetz and Congressman Mike Waltz,” DeSantis said in a post on X. “I have directed Secretary of State Cord Byrd to immediately formulate and announce a schedule for the upcoming special election.”

Once that schedule is published, DeSantis, according to state lawwill issue an order.

Rubio’s term ends in 2029, so DeSanti’s appointees will have plenty of time to learn the ropes in the Senate, raise money and prepare for a possible re-election bid.

Trump’s daughter-in-law and co-chair of the Republican National Committee, Lara Trump, has been touted as a potential replacement for Rubio. She told Sean Hannity on his Fox News TV show on Wednesday “If I can serve, I would love to serve the people of Florida.”

She is endorsed by Florida’s US Senator Rick Scott. He wrote to X“RT (retweet) if you think @LaraLeaTrump should be Florida’s next senator!”

Gaetz has too approved her appointment by DeSantis on X.

Both Gaetz and Waltz come from safe Republican districts, making either of them a Democrat very unlikely. Representing Northwest Florida’s 1st Congressional District, Gaetz won re-election with 66.04% of the vote according to unofficial resultsand has been a staunch Trump ally.

Waltz, the first former US Army Special Forces member elected to Congress, won the 6th Congressional District on the Atlantic Coast with 66.54% of the vote.
