From Florida’s Voice:
DeSantis reiterated that Republicans in Congress must support President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda and “restore basic American principles.”
He said that his prime criteria for the appointment was someone who would work with Trump, vote against excessive spending and cut spending, who “understands” the troubling expansion of federal bureaucracy, and who supports intense measures to crack down on both illegal and legal immigration.
DeSantis said his “final criteria” was someone with a “demonstrated record” on those issues.
"I'm ready to show up and fight for this nation and fight for President Trump to deliver the America First agenda on Day 1."

So who will become the FL AG?
Chris Christie

Stop with your nonsense. You are making a fool out of yourself. I am a Florida resident. Governor DeSantis will likely appoint his Chief of Staff, James Uthmeier, as Florida Attorney General to replace Moody.
This allows Congressman Byron Donalds, my congressman, to run for Florida Governor in 2026 as a full-throated supporter of the MAGA coalition.
Alvin Bragg! /ducking
Whap!!!!
Desantis will appoint someone.
His Chief of Staff, James Uthmeier,
Exciting times are unfolding for MAGA and even more so for Dems 🙂
She’ll easily be one of the most 5 – maybe 3 – most reliably conservative Senators in the GOP caucus. Great pick.
I suspect that she will be better than Rubio.
Agree. Great pick and sets her up for another run or a higher state office.
I hope she will be a fighter.
She is.
Yet another illustration of the importance of a deep bench. Nicely done, Governor, and kudos to Ms. (soon to be Senator) Moody.
Also, the importance of having the right people as governor
She doesn’t look old enough to be a Senator, though. Gotta be at least 30.
She clears the hurdle by 19 years.
Judging by the current membership, I thought the minimum threshold was 70. She is certainly energetic. Might spook the old folks home.
Pam Bondi as AG, and now former AG Moody as Senator. Growing some good ones in Florida
Maybe we should start a #strongFLwomen tag just to trigger Dems
Triggering Dems is cheap entertainment, that was the beauty of Trumps online comments.
The exception being triggering dumb people who go on to loot and destroy their own neighborhoods. There should be no funding for those people to rebuild. Their whining about that would be entertaining.
Bondi is very weak on the RKBA, and has never apologized for her role in the persecution of Jorge Mesa (aka George Zimmerman).
What was her role? She was Florida Attorney General, but the decision to prosecute Zimmerman was made by Angela Corey, the 4th Circuit States Attorney. That’s an elective office, so Corey was not working for Bondi.
