It appears he has 7 potential candidates in mind. Each one worse than the other.

It's been done before either directly or by having a governor resign and be appointed by the Lt. Governor. It makes sense since DeSantis is term limited in 2026. If he becomes senator now, he'll have a leg up in the special election in 2026 and be better positioned to run for re-election in 2028 or to mount another presidential race.
