DeSantis pick for his replacement. Pam Bondi would work.

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.
Tere will be a special election for vacant House seats in, so far, Florida and New York.
Those seats should be safe Republican seats.
