Florida law dictates that if DeSantis resigns or abruptly leaves office, he would be replaced by his lieutenant governor.
Jeanette Núñez, Florida's lieutenant governor, will likely replace Governor Ron DeSantis if he joins President-elect Donald Trump's administration as the next Department of Defense secretary.While the president-elect has already nominated former Fox News host Pete Hegseth to lead the DOD, allegations of sexual assault and drinking on the job have raised serious doubts over his ability to gain Senate confirmation.
If DeSantis is nominated as Trump's defense secretary and accepts the nomination, he would still go through the same vetting process that Hegseth will likely face if he remains the nominee, including a possible FBI background check and a public Senate confirmation hearing.
