“We know that Gov. DeSantis has somewhat of a tumultuous relationship with Susie Wiles, the president’s chief of staff. She’s from Florida, of course,” Newsom said. “It’s interesting to see how that will unfold in how Gov. DeSantis appoints Marco Rubio’s replacement.”

Rubio was nominated to become the next secretary of state on Wednesday, giving DeSantis the power to appoint someone to fill Rubio’s vacant Senate seat.
