Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has made a bold and strategic move by appointing Ashley Moody, the state’s tough-as-nails Attorney General, to the U.S. Senate. Moody will fill the seat vacated by Marco Rubio, who stepped down after being nominated by President-elect Trump to serve as Secretary of State. This appointment isn’t just a win for Florida—it’s a win for the entire MAGA movement.
At a press conference Thursday morning, DeSantis laid it out clearly: Washington doesn’t need more career politicians. It needs fighters. “We as Republicans cannot squander this opportunity, and that means we need a Congress, both the House and the Senate, that will rise to the occasion and make history. No more business as usual in Washington, D.C.,” DeSantis declared. And Ashley Moody is exactly that fighter.
At just 49, Moody brings a wealth of experience and a reputation for being relentless in defending conservative values. Elected as Florida’s Attorney General in 2018, she’s been a key ally of DeSantis in taking on the Left, fighting against radical corporate policies, and standing firm on law and order. She’s been on the frontlines battling illegal immigration, the fentanyl crisis, and human trafficking. Now, she’s ready to take that same energy and determination to Washington.
DeSantis praised Moody for her leadership and commitment to protecting Floridians. “She’s honorably served our people over these last six years… She championed initiatives for at-risk children and expanded access to legal representation for vulnerable Floridians,” he said. That’s the kind of servant leadership Florida is sending to the Senate.

Moody didn’t hold back in her acceptance. “I will bring the same persistence, passion, and tenacity as a United States senator that I have brought as Florida’s attorney general,” she promised. And that’s exactly what Republicans need in Washington—a senator who won’t be intimidated by the D.C. swamp and who will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with President Trump to push through the America First agenda.
This move also sends a strong message: Florida remains the heart of the conservative movement. With Marco Rubio joining Trump’s cabinet and Ashley Moody heading to the Senate, Florida is solidifying its role in shaping national policy.
Moody’s appointment is a win for conservatives and a nightmare for Democrats. She’s battle-tested, unafraid, and ready to fight for the American people. Washington, brace yourself—Ashley Moody is on her way.
