Rep. Charlie Crist (D-Fla.), the Democratic nominee for governor of Florida, is resigning from the House and leaving his term early as the heads into the height of campaign season.
Crist’s resignation will be effective at the end of the day on Wednesday, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
n a statement to the Tampa Bay Times, Crist said it was “an honor and a privilege” to represent his constituents in Congress, adding that “these achievements start and end with you, the people — my bosses — who have guided my work in Congress since Day One.”
His resignation comes the week after he won Florida’s Democratic gubernatorial primary to take on Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Crist had faced criticism earlier this year for heavily utilizing the House’s pandemic-era proxy voting rule, assigning a House colleague to vote on his behalf rather than traveling to Washington to vote in person.

“And now DeSantis can appoint his replacement”
Governors don’t appoint replacements for House members. They schedule elections. And with the general election now only two months off, where a replacement will be chosen one way or the other, the governor will not be calling for a special election.
Will he dare appoint a Rep.?
Did someone forget to tell him that Democrats never give up their office until they get the better one?
