“Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody will take Marco Rubio’s seat in the U.S. Senate, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Thursday, making Moody only the second woman to represent Florida in the chamber. Elected as the state’s top law enforcement officer in 2018, Moody campaigned on a pledge to voters that she’d be a prosecutor, not a politician. Along with DeSantis, Moody boosted her political profile during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, calling on the federal government to ‘hold China responsible’ for the outbreak. In elevating her to the post, DeSantis praised Moody as a key player in his political battles, a law and order prosecutor who’s prepared to help President-elect Donald Trump ‘secure and shut the border,’ rein in inflation, and overhaul what he described as a federal bureaucracy ‘run amok.'” [editor’s note: You can be “law and order” OR you can support the federal government violating the Constitution by regulating immigration. You can’t do both – TLK] (01/16/25)
