Hahahahahaha! The fabled “4-D Chess”!!!!
Sounds like a win either way.
If he got appointed to the senate, I could see Thune going after him the way McCarthy went after him.
Would Desantis appoint him?
Does he get to hold the seat for 2 years, or will there be a Special Election prior?
Diabolical! I love it.
Plan B is a recess appointment
Plan C is to have JD run the Senate every day as President of the Senate (which is defined in the Constitution,unlike “Majority Leader”) until they knock off the crap.
Trump has this.
Rubio would lose the Senate seat the next time it is up.
DeSantis may have already filled that seat by then.
NEW: Reporter asks Rep. Thomas Massie about Trump's nomination of Matt Gaetz for Attorney General.
Reporter: Will he be confirmed by the Senate?
Massie: "Doesn't need to... we recess. He’s the Attorney General. Suck it up."pic.twitter.com/C9djSuw2D6— Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) November 13, 2024
Gaetz as a Senator. Lovely mayhem.
“There would be a special election to fill out the term, likely on election day, 2026, or earlier.”
Look it up and I agree, unless something really weird happens, whoever Rubio appoints will stay in the Senate the next General Election, which is Election Day, 2026, as you’re saying.
Now that is a real 4D chess move.
No- appoint Byron Donalds to Rubio’s seat
