Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis selected Attorney General Ashley Moody to fill Marco Rubio's Senate seat on Thursday.The move comes after President-elect Donald Trump chose Rubio to be secretary of state shortly after he won the 2024 presidential race.Moody was reportedly seen as the frontrunner for the position over the recent weeks, while others did talk to DeSantis about the position.The 49-year-old reached her term limits as attorney general after she won her first election in 2018 and her re-election bid in 2022.The decision to go with Moody set a new record for Republican women in the Senate, according to data from the Center for American Women in Politics.Moody will be the 10th GOP woman in the chamber.Though DeSantis did not publically announce his decision until Thursday, he did say the person will be a hard-liner on immigration, including pushing reforms to the H-1B visa program.Moody’s pick is also likely to reshuffle DeSantis’ political orbit.It is widely believed that longtime DeSantis chief of staff, James Uthmeier, will now be appointed to fill Moody’s post, requiring that DeSantis select a new top staffer.
