With Nuñez to Fiu Desantis will make another key meeting that can form 2026 – wtsp.com

Tallahassee, Florida – Florida Governor Jeanette Nunys, will soon leave Talahasi and return to his Alma Mater in South Florida, officially approve of Friday to become the temporary president of the International University of Florida.

After much speculation, its hiring was approved 11-1 by the school board. Nuneos is expected to take on the post on February 17, finding another key appointment for the government Ron Roanis, which he has to do – one that can have great consequences for the competition in 2026 for his successor.

“FIU has the ability to really expand its horizons. I think they have done a good job, but I think you will see them take even more steam with it, “Zaths said during a press conference on Friday.

“This is something she was interested in this. She had my approval and my support. She is someone who is very well appreciated in the community, “the governor added.

While the governor applauded the hiring he approved, Florida’s Democratic Party struck her as an example of his “hostile ingestion” of colleges and universities in Florida.

“This has nothing to do with the improvement of the Kustic Educational Results in Florida and everything related to loyalty rewarding,” said FPD chairman Nicky Fried.

This move has political consequences outside the campus. The governor has already appointed a place in the US Senate and will soon appoint members of the Florida cabinet, including the Prosecutor General, Financial Officer (current Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis is expected to win a vacancy at Congress) and now Lieutenant Governor.

While the lieutenant’s governor has no official obligations under the State Constitution, the title comes with a great opportunity.

“If he appoints someone to get into this job of the Governor’s lieutenant, they immediately get credibility and may choose to want to run for a governor in two years,” said Tampa’s political analyst Bay Lars Hafner.

With the Government, the landing, facing time limitations and the open competition in 2026, Hafner says that the choice will influence the creation of the future of the governor and the potentially first lady of Florida. According to NBC reports, GOP donors are watching a potential run by Casey Roanthis.

“He wants to have a thumb on a scale of who his successor is, and while Casey Hoanis decides that he is or she is out, this kind of freezes the field with people who are supported by Donald Trump, but not Ron Roanis. And we’ll see how all this is played. This will be a big political maneuver, “Hafner added.

There is no time line for this if or when the governor has to appoint a replacement to the second on command. When Rick Scott was a governor, he once waited 10 months before calling a new lieutenant governor to serve under him.

Nuñez has not resigned from Friday night.
