He can't run for governor of Florida in 2026, because he was elected in 2018, and again in 2022. He can run again for governor in 2030.
Personally, if I was DeSantis, I would appoint myself to fill the remainder of Rubio's term in the Senate if Rubio is officially made Secretary of State by Trump. DeSantdis would have 4 years to go on Rubio's term as Senator, and be up for reelection to the Senate in 2028. He could be reelected as Senator in 2028, and then run for governor in 2030 if he wanted to.

He changed the "resign-to-run" law last year. It's why he could run in this cycle. Is there another FL law I missed? CaptainTruth Nov 12 #12
