President-elect Donald Trump has picked Republican Representative Mike Waltz to be his national security adviser, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Monday, tapping a retired Army Green Beret who has been a leading critic of China. Waltz, a Trump loyalist who also served in the National Guard as a colonel, has criticized Chinese activity in the Asia-Pacific and has voiced the need for the United States to be ready for a potential conflict in the region.

From the house? This is madness
Trump knows what he’s doing lol. He’s not going to throw away a house majority.
From the House? Yeah, let’s take our quality House reps and risk having someone less qualified.
DeSantis pick for his replacement. Pam Bondi would work.
I think there is a bit of trolling going on with this one.
Does DeSantis replace or is there a new election?
Reps it’s an election. Senators are picked by Gov to fill out rest of term.
Hard to find but there is a website that evaluates congress critters on their support for Ukraine.
He seems to have a D- grade. Not strong support.
Wouldn’t they have a special election in heavily Republican areas?
Desantis will pick a good replacement. Not too sure about Hochuls pick, though.

Wrong, Tim will be the men’s rest room attendant in the White House , and he will be tasked with handing out tampons.
> DeSantis pick for his replacement. <
Governors get to pick replacements for Senate vacancies. But the Constitution requires a special election for House vacancies.
This makes the president appointing a House member to a position risky. I sure could see the Democrats pouring huge amounts of money into special elections to try to flip the House.
But if the member is in a very safe district, it would be another story.
Mike Waltz... needless to say, no relation
to a certain Timothy James Walz of Minnesota.
Sorry folks I blew that one, misread the last name.
Replaced by DeSantis.
That helps. Waltz represents DeSantis old district in FL.
Waltz won by a 66-33 margin, so I think it’s a pretty safe district for a special election.
